What to Wear

Since the conference this year is in Florida, during August, resort casual is appropriate attire. For men, it means shorts, jeans, or slacks paired with a t-shirt or polo shirt. For women, a blouse with pants, jeans, a skirt, or a casual dress work.

For the Wednesday evening’s Closing Banquet, evening wear or formal wear have traditionally been worn for this event. Business attire is also acceptable. For the Wednesday evening’s President’s After Party, feel free to come as you are from the Closing Banquet or change into casual Floridian attire such as Bermudas and Havaianas.
