The order of the day is simplicity: which means just enough business clothes for the trip and the same for the evenings so if the amount of footwear is restricted to one pair for business and one for pleasure then you will be keeping your luggage to minimum. The only thing you need after this is your toiletry bag and if there are any other work documents, files or brochures that could help you with your appointments but you could do without if necessary.
