Event Location:
Online event - from the comfort of your Office, Living Room, Kitchen… your choice.
The Dress Code
Whatever you feel comfortable in… casual, sweats, pjs, cosplay - it all works. However we do recommend that because the Networking Party immediately follows the last session on Day 1 that you’ll want to be ready to attend and look your best - it’s a virtual Party! Dress code for speakers, panelists and presenters is business casual.
The Tools
Bring pen and paper, we’ll have lots of pearls of wisdom, latest updates and writer-downers.
