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 at either the hotel or Chattahoochee Technical College campus 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!

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 exhibitors. Remember, you are representing not only AITP, but your respective college/university and all other AITP members at this conference event. Emergency contact information will also be provided as you obtain your conference registration materials "just in case".

The Waverly Renaissance Hotel is a true 5-star hotel property which is the ultimate in total guest services and attention to detail. From the moment you enter the hotel, you will notice and experience this level of service but not everyone has had the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from this level of service from a conference hotel but believe me, you will notice it! I do, however, kindly ask that you are considerate of the hotel staff that goes the extra mile and performs additional services like the bellman, spa/health club attendants, hail a cab and so forth. Much like restaurant workers, the majority of their income comes from tips and they "kindly ask you to compensate them for the requested services that they provide you".
