1st Check: Pre-Though Outfit Will Save Your From A Cold!<\/h2>\n

The worst part of packing is always choosing which clothes will have the honor to have their own spot in your suitcase<\/strong>! This might look easy, as we\u2019re heading for glacial cold in IMM 2018<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, but whenever there\u2019s negative degrees outside, there\u2019s a tropical weather inside! Meaning, you\u2019ll go from -5 to 25 degrees in 2 seconds, so please note this not to catch a cold!<\/p>\n

Chose your outfits wisely<\/strong>, bear in mind the unbearable cold<\/strong> outside and the extreme heat<\/strong> inside IMM Cologne<\/strong><\/em>, and for the love of God, try to take wearable<\/strong> and comfortable<\/strong> outfit whilst keeping it sophisticated<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Do you think you can do this? Awesome, then we\u2019ve just managed the first check in our\u00a0travel checklist<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n

2nd Check: Extreme Cold Calls For a Warm Coat!<\/h2>\n

Well, in the aftermath of the last check in our travel checklist<\/strong><\/em>, I believe you\u2019re not quite getting how cold will it be in Cologne<\/strong><\/a> once you\u2019re in there for IMM 2018<\/strong><\/em>! I know I\u2019ve said it already, but THE most important check in our travel essentials<\/strong> <\/em>list is, undoubtedly, a super warm coat, a really warm one, ok?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The reason why we\u2019re paying so much attention to this detail, is \u2019cause we know you\u2019ll be more concerned about looking good than being warm<\/strong>, and I understand you I\u2019m committed that mistake before and trust me, no one looks good with a Rudolf nose due to a very strong cold!<\/strong><\/p>\n

3rd Check: Long-lasting Make-Up Will Save You From Disaster<\/h2>\n

We know you\u2019re going to IMM 2018<\/strong> <\/em>to check the best lighting producers in the World<\/strong><\/a>, and you\u2019ll probably lose your head over some of them, that we can\u2019t help! However, you still need to make sure you\u2019ll look presentable and this is only possible if you start wearing some long-lasting make-up items!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Why, you ask? I\u2019m guessing you\u2019ll be spending the whole day, walking around from one side to the other<\/strong>, illuminated by all the light from the showcased chandeliers and dealing with all those temperature variations,<\/strong> am I right? Good, so you\u2019ll need a back-up plan, your normal make-up routine<\/strong> <\/a>won\u2019t last the whole day!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the 3rd check<\/strong> in our travel checklist<\/strong><\/em>, buying and making sure you won\u2019t forget your long-lasting make-up items<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

4th Check: Avoid Your Worst Nightmare and Take A Power-Bank!<\/h2>\n

One of societies\u2019 worst nightmare nowadays is running out of battery,<\/strong> and unfortunately, I must admit I\u2019m one of those people whose battery is ALWAYS dead! The most ridiculous thing is that I actually own a power-bank, but am too lazy to even charge that, I know!!<\/p>\n

So, as you\u2019re heading to IMM Cologne<\/strong><\/em><\/a> to do some networking, having battery on your cell is more than essential, I dare to say that without battery you better head to the Hotel and take the afternoon for you! So, let\u2019s avoid this, shall we?<\/p>\n

When packing your suitcase, make sure you place a power bank there, maybe you should place 2, just in case!<\/strong><\/p>\n

5th Check: Capturing The Most Important Moments Will Make You Happy<\/h2>\n

Although your only purpose to go to Cologne<\/strong> is attending IMM 2018<\/strong><\/em>, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t take the spare time to get to know the city,<\/strong><\/a> they say it\u2019s something you need to see! If you decide to take a few hours just to get involved in the German culture and to fall in love with Cologne<\/strong>, then I\u2019m guessing you\u2019ll want to capture the best moments and landscapes, right?<\/p>\n

This being said, I think taking your camera with you is crucial<\/strong>, independently if you\u2019re going on vacations or for professional matters!<\/p>\n

Imagine you\u2019re waling around IMM Cologne<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and you see some lighting fixture you really really want on your next project? Will you be taking pictures with your cell? The quality isn\u2019t nearly the same, so that\u2019s why the cameras exist!<\/p>\n

6th Check: Do Your Research In Advance<\/h2>\n

If you were meaning to go to IMM 2018<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>and check some of the best mid century modern brands<\/strong><\/em><\/a> lighting fixtures, then you should do your research first! The whole purpose of your trip is to visit this lighting trade show<\/strong>, so if you don\u2019t look for the places where your favorite brands will be,<\/a> it will be a wait of time, right?<\/p>\n

This means that, in order to have a proper travel checklist<\/strong><\/em> and to make sure you\u2019ll have everything you need on your suitcase, you need to go online and check the IMM map!<\/strong><\/p>\n

DelightFULL<\/strong><\/a> will be there to delight you with a surprise and to make every single of your dreams come true!<\/p>\n

7th Check: If The Phone Doesn\u2019t Work, Have a Notebook, Just In Case!<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re finally heading to the end of our packing list<\/strong><\/em>, which means we\u2019ve already covered the most important things you should pack when going to Cologne 2018<\/strong><\/em><\/a>! There\u2019s just one little thing missing, that most people forget when they travel and in your case, it might be life changing!<\/p>\n

Even thought we all have phones and we normally storage all the information there, it might be important if we take a notebook and some pens<\/strong>, they can be the nabbed from hotels, to make sure you write down everything you need and you attach and keep all the business cards that were given to you!<\/p>\n

Oh, and try to find an Ultra Violet one<\/strong><\/a>, it will show you\u2019re totally in the Pantone Color of The Year Trend<\/strong>!<\/a><\/p>\n
