Avoid getting caught off guard while gearing up for an important meeting with a few pieces of tech to keep you prepared no matter what comes your way.

The first item, one that goes without much introduction, is the smartphone. In 2018, it is difficult to get by without one — especially if work requires you to be connected. The myriad of tools available on iPhones and Android devices means a calendar, calculator, email and other tools are only a finger’s brush away.

Smart watches can also be invaluable tools and offer a lot of the same functionality without the need to pull out an entire phone. There are Apple watches for fans of the iPhone, Android watches if Google is more your style and other manufacturers as well.

The customization options for these devices make them indispensable on a busy business trip. The number of apps available to make business dealings easier for everyone involved seems unlimited.

Tripit allows users to organize every plan of their trip in a single place. This means rental car reservations, hotel plans, restaurant reservations and more can all be organized from one place.

If you are looking to minimize the impact of your downtime at airports, LoungeBuddy has your back. This app collects information on tons of airport lounges to help busy travelers make the most of their time away.

Finally, Expensify is an app that makes tracking and filing business trip expenses easier than ever. The app automates the entire expense report process, simplifying the job.
