A travel-friendly academic conference pen loadout
Academic conferences, and professional conferences in general — are adventurous writing experiences.
Reading and writing in planes. Writing rapidly at tables. Writing on my lap. Journaling thoughtfully on what I learned during the day’s workshops and lectures. My currently inked this week attends to all of these conference-going writing needs.
A balanced academic conference carry kit — the non-pen parts
Travel leads to writing on tiny trays provided by airlines. Scratch notes in hallways. Writing on tables. Writing on my lap. Writing at a restaurant in the conference-after-dark.
My conference kit needs to function in all of these spaces. And needs to do so in a way that keeps what I need at my fingertips — so it looks like I am organized. Appearances matter at academic conferences.
