Good news: You can leave the suits at home!

Here’s what we recommend packing:

• Comfortable clothes and shoes – you’ll be moving frequently between sessions and outdoor spaces.
  • Sand-friendly footwear – perfect for Tuesday’s beach dinner where we’ll be right on the sand!
  • Activewear and sneakers – ideal for the FinX Workshop and Wellness Walks on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
  • Layers – meeting rooms can feel chilly, and San Diego evenings cool down. A light sweater or jacket will come in handy.
  • Water activity gear – if you’re participating in Wednesday’s kayaking or paddleboarding activity, pack quick-drying, moisture-wicking clothes (like light shorts or athletic leggings), a swimsuit or swim trunks, water shoes or sport sandals, a hat and sunglasses, and a lightweight jacket or windbreaker.
• Business cards – or have your mobile app ready for easy digital exchanges.
• A reusable water bottle – stay hydrated with our convenient water refill stations throughout the venue.
• An open mind – be ready to be surprised and inspired by new ideas from speakers and fellow attendees.

• Don’t miss our Main Stage sessions — they offer big-picture insights and key moments.
• Select breakouts based on your personal interests and professional goals.

• Use the online EMERGE schedule to get a bird’s-eye view of the event.
• Build your personalized schedule within the mobile app.
