While masks are no longer required, they remain optional for anyone choosing to wear one. Sanitization stations will also be available throughout the meeting space and those that wish to maintain social distance should do so. If you want to wear a mask but forget yours, please visit our Registration Services Desk for a disposable mask.
Dress Code
Business attire is suitable for all conference sessions and receptions. For the pre-conference training day, business casual is appropriate. Conference Center room temperatures can be on the cooler side, so we recommend dressing with this in mind.
