SUGGESTED CONFERENCE ATTIRE

Many students have asked about what is "appropriate" attire for the conference so here are some suggested guidelines to follow:

Day Time of Day Suggested Attire
Thursday all day/travel/registration/contests casual
Friday conference sessions business/business casual
  contest events casual
Saturday conference & contests sessions business/business casual
  banquet business/business casual and some even go formal!
Sunday all day/travel casual

Remember, our conference keynoters, breakout speakers and exhibitors want to be impressed by AITP and likewise, you want to impress them as well, especially if you are seeking information and/or opportunities from the career fair exhibitors. In other words, dress to impress but don't dress to "depress or shock". However, "comfortable and acceptable" attire is encouraged for the contest events which will be held on either the Creighton University or Metropolitan Community College campuses on Thursday and Friday. After all, we want you to be comfortable as you go for the winner circle at this year's conference but you also want to look sharp when we take your "winner picture" at the banquet too!

CONFERENCE BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE

Fortunately, we have not had any major problems nor incidents at any of the past conferences but at the request at one of our exhibitors, they kindly ask for your promptness, attention and respect for all conference keynotes, breakout sessions, contest events and job fair exhibitors. Remember, you are representing not only AITP, but all IT students and future professionals at this national conference event. Emergency contact information will also be provided as you obtain your conference registration materials "just in case".
