It's practical for event planners to keep up on all the new travel gadgets that come out, whether to use yourself, to suggest to your clients or even to use as giveaways. Here's a list of the top four gadgets that I feel no regular business traveler should be without:

1. A night light. But not just any night light, a NightWave Sleep Assistant. This is a pocket sized device that helps insomniacs or those who have a hard time sleeping at hotels. The device puts off a rhythmic pulsing blue light with which you breathe in unison, allowing you to quickly drift off to sleep. It ensures that even the most harried traveler will have a more productive and energized morning meeting.

2. The Bluetooth Laser Virtual Keyboard. This tiny device projects a laser keyboard onto any flat surface, providing a full keyboard for your bluetooth enabled PDA or cell  phone. No more typos from those tiny Blackberry keys! This is a gadget for the true futuristic traveler.

3. A Stashcard. Make use of the empty PC card slot in your laptop. Keep money, memory cards, credit cards, etc., in this "secret drawer." Now all of your valuables can be stored and with you at all times.

4. Some Space Bags. This is for all of the women (and men) who tend to overpack despite knowing you will never need a winter jacket in California. These bags allow the packer to suck the air out of the bags easily and fit a whopping 300% more luggage.

So next time before you are jetting off to your next event or business meeting, check out the new technology that is available for the avid traveler. Treat your meeting attendees, on-the-go salespeople, or even yourself to one for a more productive and enjoyable trip.
