What do people wear at Instructurecon?

[jsowalsk]

Can you please give me some tips on what people wear/bring with them to survive the weather of CO and what is the expected dress for this conference?

I can't wait! Not every day that you travel 4,611 miles for a conference

Great thread! I have one day left to pack before we fly out and I am still very torn about what to wear for the 'black tie' evening. In the UK, I'd be getting the floor-length ball gown out (even though I never usually wear dresses haha) but I feel I may be overdressed if I do that here. I feel this is an easy theme for men but what are my fellow women planning to wear? Newbie here, so all and any advice welcomed. Don't want to regret my clothing choices nearly 5,000 miles away from home haha

Hi Hannah - plan on it being outdoors!  It also gets cool in the evening that I remember from last year.  Which flight you guys getting?  I'm on the 14.40 BA out of Heathrow.   A

On Saturday that is...

You're a day ahead of us. We're on the 14:40 BA out of Heathrow on the Sunday. Don't forget to leave yourself enough airport travelling time! First weekend of the school holidays and it's been classed as the busiest weekend for flights. I'm sure I'll see you around at some point ... maybe at the 'International Pre-Conference' event?

Too true - I flew same day last year and it was chaos!  Yes international pre conference event sounds good - there is also a UK Whatsapp group - most places have wifi so we found Whatsapp really works well - Gareth can invite u as he's in it - if not I'll email u the link A

Hi Hannah! If you have leggings or stockings, try for that. Maybe some flats or boots and if you want, a dress with camisole, sweater or even just some sort of pants and a nice top.  I'm likely going to be doing a black dress with leggings and some flats myself with a jacket of some sort. I'm not super Vegas'ey of a person, but its my effort. hah! Whatever you do, just have fun!

Last year I brought several extra coats and jackets because I knew some people wouldn't get the word about the weather and show up without what they needed.  I remember I had at least one taker.  If you see anyone shivering please give them my contact info.  360.747.7211 or scottd@instructure.
