During the Summit
Here are some common questions about your time at the Summit.
Where do I check in at the Summit?
More details coming soon.
What should I wear to the main Summit sessions?
Business or business casual is recommended for daytime programming.
What should I wear to the Summit Celebration evening?
Summit Celebration Dress Code: Celebration Chic ✨
Wondering what "Celebration Chic" means? Think sophisticated with a stylish edge (note: this is not a black-tie event). It’s polished, elevated, and perfect for an evening of connection and celebration. Recommendations:
➡️ For women: Cocktail dresses, chic jumpsuits, or elegant separates. A sleek silhouette, bold accessories, or a refined pop of color can add that extra touch.
➡️ For men: Dress pants with a blazer, a stylish suit, or a polished button-down with personality. No need for a tux, but an elevated look is the way to go.
Need inspiration? A quick Google search for "Celebration Chic" can help—but when in doubt, dress up, not down.
