What to pack and wear

What should I bring?

You’ll have tons of takeaways and golden nuggets to bring back to campus, so you’ll want to bring whatever means works best for you to take notes. We suggest arriving with a fully-charged battery, and also recommend bringing your own reusable water bottle to help us cut down on waste.

Clothing and attire

Conference attire is business casual – with a strong emphasis on the “casual.” Jeans, tees, khakis and comfy kicks are common, too, both during the conference sessions and at evening events. Remember, session rooms can be chilly, so you may want to throw in a sweater for daytime wear.
