One more thing... Rent-car may be not a good idea. Sometimes it's hard to find the parking spot. ^.^ As Andrew said, it will be better to use public transportations such as cab, bus, and sub-way. It may take more time, but sometimes the driving style of New Yorker may be a little bit offensive, and finding parking lot may be a challenge. :-) If you are one of owls, there are plenty of places you can visit in night/early morning when you are not in the mood for sleeping ^>^

Once you all get there, you will realize how awesome this place is. There is nothing to be afraid. Just remember, carry around an unlimited metrocard and a subway map. Taking cabs everything can get expensive.

Seriously, Dave was taken out of context by the usual suspects. Brooklyn / NYC is pretty OK.

Dave as in David D has spent TOO much time in NY.
I gave basic smart tips for any big city. Just wear a Telx hat and you are safe. That is like the crips there in NY. Lots of respect from the gangs. Otherwise no one can make bets with their bookie, fo'get 'about it....
Enjoy your travels everyone! Come early, stay long, network with all!

We're in the Marriot, not a crack house. And it's NYC, not Sao Paolo. I think my friend Dave needs to actually spend some time in New York City. :).
Don't buy any bridges. And if you're driving, stay off the cross Bronx Expresseway. It's moidah during rush hour.

I've not been to the conference myself, but I hear laptop and charger is a good plan.
Following the advice of our host, David Diaz (Telx), care should be exercised to make sure your laptop bag does not have the text "LAPTOP" printed on it, as that would make it a target for thieves. Additionally, don't wear white iPod earbuds, as that will likely lead to you getting mugged on the subway, or zapped by lightning in Central Park.

Looking for some advice for a first-timer.
What are your recommendation regarding gear?
- laptop and charger only
- laptop with small bag
- the whole normal kit&caboodle, wheeled backpack thing
Thanks,
