Make a pack list of stuff you will need:

Your rig and monitor/laptop

All necessary cables (triple check these... you don't want to be the guy running around begging for a spare power cord)

Appropriate amount of clothes and your sanitary products (if it's a LAN that lasts several days)

Don't rely on promises of wireless, bring an ethernet cable

Don't rely on promises of "we have enough power outlets", bring a multisocket outlet

Depending on catering at the location, bring food and drinks to last you the time

Ensure your PC is up to date, which especially includes your virus and Windows. Also your games should be patched, too. Nothing is worse than wanting to join a game just to realise that you are one patch behind and having to download said patch over a connection that's slowing down to crawl because of a hundred simultaneous users.

IF you want to do file sharing make sure you have it all well organised in a place you feel comfortable with giving other people access to.
