You can check the competition schedule to see what the dress code is for each event.
For the networking session we suggest you wear something snappy casual. Informal, yet stylish. Tops can include collared shirts or blouses, and jeans are acceptable.

The idea is to be your authentic self, and we hope that can be best represented by what is already in your closet.***
