Bring with you the following items:

The poster (protected in a sturdy cylindrical container). Seal the container's covers with adhesive tape, because they can fall off in the airport handling.

The physical object, suitably protected
Business cards with up to date contact information
Promotional leaflet
A laptop for running the demo
The demo on backup media (CD-ROM, USB stick)
Publications to distribute (e.g. paper reprints)
Publications to display (e.g. a book)
Giveaways: posters, pens, buttons, candy, CDs, T-shirts
An attire appropriate for the occasion - consider wearing a T-shirt with the research project's logo
Drinking water
Reading material, to pass your time if attendance is low

Don't forget to update your web site, before you leave. Keep copies of the promotional material (leaflet, publication) in a web-accessible directory. You may find them useful, if you need to print additional copies from an Internet cafe, or a public PC room.
