Packing Information:

IBS limits each student to one checked bag and one carry on. Not only will you need to pack business attire for company meetings, you will have to keep your luggage light and easy to carry from country to country. We highly recommend bringing extra clothes in your carry on in case it takes longer than expected to receive your luggage from the airport. Also, we ask that you attach the IBS luggage tag we provide to you to your suitcase so it is easily identifiable.
