Question about what to wear at OH Conference

This is my 1st OH Conference and starting to get excited and wondering what to wear.

I was planning on wearing jeans but  was wondering if there are any events that we need to dress up for, like the meet and greet Friday or the social and dance Saturday night.


Thanks

Saundra

Saundra - my experience at the two events I've attended has been that Friday Meet N Greet is casual.

Saturday during the actual breakout sessions - comfort is the key, but bring a sweater or light jacket if you're prone to being chilly.  The meeting rooms are usually a little on the cool side.

Saturday night social & dance - there will be everything from shorts to evening gowns.  Whatever you're comfortable in.  Last year I participated in the fashion show and really hammed it up.  This year, I plan to wear some on the high end of casual, but not full blown dressy.  And wear your dancing shoes!

Ha!  Expert by no means, but I did learn my lesson by not having a jacket or sweater.  I can promise THAT won't happen again!

See you next weekend, Yvonne.   I was going to join the fashion show group, but I heard you had closed it off for participants so you could get your slide show together.  It was fun participating, but it will be just as grand spectating too!

Can't wait.

Buy me some too when you get yours!  I think you should sign Shelia and Sharon up for the fashion show and we can take pictures!!!

I'm wearing jeans Friday for the M&G, Saturday a dress for the fashion show.  One year we bought out the hotel giftshop of hoodies and another year we all ended up in the clothing exchange room fighting over coats and sweaters.  They keep those room FREEZING cold!!  For the conference itself-very casual cuz you'll be sitting all day.
