ATTIRE FOR MEETINGS
Dress during the business meeting portion of the event will be business casual, however should you find some free time to visit some of the better restaurants you may need business or "after five" attire and men will need to wear jackets and ties. The Inaugural and Awards Dinner is black tie optional. Don't forget a jacket or coat, comfortable shoes, an umbrella and camera. Meeting rooms tend to be cool to frigid, so be sure to bring a jacket, sweater or dress in layers.
