Item Why? What to bring instead
Biological samples or living microorganisms There are complex safety and legal issues around transporting biological samples, especially across national borders. Because the Giant Jamboree is such a busy time, iGEM HQ will not be able to address these complex issues at the Jamboree. Please also see iGEM's policy against release of wet-lab projects. Data, photos, or videos of your biological samples

Stickers or adhesive items Stickers should not be brought to the Hynes Convention Center because people may stick them onto walls and other surfaces that can be damaged by adhesives. Postcards, flyers, pamphlets, bookmarks, etc. etc. etc.
