What to Pack
Packing for APNA
Your #1 accessory is your Conference Badge. Make sure you have this on you at all times when in the conference center, sessions or exhibit hall. In the convention center business casual clothing and comfortable shoes are a must. For your comfort, we suggest that you carry a light sweater or shawl with you throughout the day as the session room temps may vary.
Weather & Attire
October is typically the driest and clearest month in Louisville, with daytime highs in the upper 60s and average lows in the upper 40s. October can have warm days but cool nights can linger so pack sweaters or light jackets.

About Louisville
Nestled on the banks of the Ohio River, Louisville offers a rich heritage, warm hospitality and plenty of one-of-a-kind attractions. There's only ONE Louisville Slugger, ONE Kentucky Derby and ONE Muhammad Ali - and Louisville has a museum for each of these icons. Add the Frazier International History Museum with the only British Royal Armouries collection in America and the oldest operating steamboat in the nation, the Belle of Louisville - and you'll see why an original experience is possible in Louisville.
The birthplace of the cheeseburger, the Mint Julep, Derby Pie and more Victorian-style homes in one area than any other city in America... Louisville's originality is obvious in many ways. Connoisseurs visit Bourbon Country and the Urban Bourbon Trail. And food aficionados come for the fine dining. The city's history, art, and architecture constitute itineraries all their own, and accommodations are elegant and plentiful.
Old and new combine exciting ways in Louisville's downtown.
