I have no idea how to approximate that since I've never done anything like this before. Is it okay to leave it off?

I remember when you and I started out at Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference and you came all prepared, complete with business cards and one-sheets, all organized into a neat notebook.

I also went to Kaye Dacus' website for visual examples of her one sheets. Most editors will want to see the one sheet. One editor for my second book did not—only wanted pitch and business card. Equation for great conference appointments? Dynamic pitch + business card/one sheet + market research = editor interest. Thanks, Edie for whipping us into shape in time for the conference season.
