What to bring/what to wear? |
|
| Q: | What should I wear? |
| A: | If you’ve attended any conferences at other hotels, it is common that sometimes the hotel meeting space may be a bit on the cool side. We recommend you bring a sweater to wear so you’ll be more comfortable. Also, we’re in Colorado and our weather any time of year is rather unpredictable. In November, it could snow, rain, hail, be windy, or be sunny and 70 degrees! Just be prepared by dressing in layers for your greatest comfort. |
| Q: | What do I wear to the Wild Wild West-themed night? |
| A: | While dressing up for this event is not required, it’ll be more fun to dress with your interpretation of the Wild Wild West. |
| Q: | Do I need to bring my camera? |
| A: | Good question. For the Pre-Conference shootouts (Headshots and Night Photography) there will be an opportunity to take photos. We invite you to bring your gear for that. For the rest of the conference, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to snap some pictures at the conference and during the networking events. You may also decide to arrive a few days early or stay after the conference for some bucket list-worthy sightseeing. |
| Q: | Do I need my laptop? |
| A: | No. We will not be doing any “hands-on” computer work at the main event. Bring your best tool for note taking; notepad, tablet, or iPad. |
