IndieWebCamp kit is a small recommended set of supplies that help to run an IndieWebCamp such as large sticky notes and Hello My Name Is name badges.

The following items have helped with running IndieWebCamps (and are not always easily available / findable on short notice or at local stores)

Large (8x6") sticky notes for writing session proposals, e.g.:
- https://www.amazon.com/Post-Sticky-Janeiro-Collection-6845-SSP/dp/B000CD0MHQ/
IndieWebCamp name tags or "Hello My Name Is" name tags, e.g.:
- https://www.amazon.com/C-Line-Pressure-Sensitive-Badges-92235/dp/B002UIDXJK/
- ping Aaron Parecki to get some IndieWebCamp name tags sent to you
Various stickers (IndieWebCamp, Microformats, Webmention, etc.)
- ping Aaron Parecki for how to order these
Files for posters explaining the building-blocks
- e.g. https://github.com/sebilasse/indieweb-origami
Pronoun pins
- IndieWebCamp Pronoun Pins
- e.g. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pronoun+pins&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
- we have a stash of IndieWebCamp branded pins, ask Aaron Parecki to ship you some
Photography preference stickers / lanyards (red = no photo, yellow = ask)
- e.g. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=colored+stickers&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
Directions/Signs
- Laminated for re-use you may also want masking/painters tape to put them up. Keep accessibility in mind when creating these (thick arrows, large fonts).

If you're running an IndieWebCamp, make sure you have some on hand or

order them online a week or more in advance
Staples (or other office supply stores) may have some of these items as well

Other items that offices usually have:

IndieWebCamps: How to organize
remote participation
to-do: document actual minimum set of supplies from actual experience
to-do: write a "how to prepare a minimal kit" subsection of "how to" describing how to acquire, assemble, and pack up ^ said minimal set
to-do: write a "how to prepare a recommended kit" subsection of "how to" describing how to acquire, assemble, and pack up recommended kit materials in addition to the minimal kit ^
consider (pre)packing a set of KN95/FFP2 masks to provide to attendees to use if they wish, may help make those who do mask feel more explicitly included in an IWC
to-do: make a "copy paste" materials checkboxes list that organizers can copy into their specific IndieWebCamp planning page to figure out / document who is bringing what and when they have confirmed they are bringing it
