Hi Debbie,

This should help, see the what to wear section:


Wear whatever is comfortable or that is *you*. If you dress up too much you'll probably feel over dressed and out of place.

You've heard the saying "He/She was dressed to the 9's" ?

For Codemash you want to dress to the 4's - 6's. Hit that sweet spot of comfort-ability, individuality, and geekiness. 

Hope that helps.

-Keith

You would be in good company wearing jeans and a t-shirt... Though, it sometimes gets chilly, so having a sweatshirt/sweater can be useful.

You'll see some people in shorts and Hawaiian shirts.  Others will be business casual.  I'm betting there will be one guy wearing a bow tie (seriously).

The most important thing is to be respectful of others (i.e., no profane slogans on T-Shirts, or swimwear in the conference area, etc.) and to be comfortable with whatever you wear.

In a word... comfy

Successful businesses must be both dollar-smart and bit-wise.

I don’t wear pants at all the entire week.

 

(I wear shorts and Hawaiian shirts.)

I like to pull out the capris/sandals, since we can't really wear them in Michigan in winter!

First timer here. Does this mean it's very warm in the conference center?

Personally, I find some of the rooms to be too cold to wear shorts. I stick to jeans and a sweatshirt/sweater.

I almost always end up carrying a sweatshirt because some of the rooms can get cold.

At the risk of sounding like a little old lady instead of a middle aged young man, I suggest bringing a sweater. IMO it is not warm enough throughout the conference center to wear shorts and a tshirt the whole time. Its pants, a tshirt and a removable sweater for me. Of course YMMV. :)

I made the mistake one year of wearing a nonremovable sweater. Worst. Decision. Ever.

Standard conference rules apply: Bring an extra layer of clothing and fully charged batteries.

Some rooms are cool and others are warm. Best to wear layers.

Jim is an exception.

Sure, he wears shorts, but as OIC, he also won't sit down the entire week, and averages some Herculean mileage per day on foot. With the physical demands from the effort he puts in, I'm certain he could survive the CodeMash Blizzard, outside, in the same attire.

"YMMV," though it will probably be insignificant compared to Jim's; his mileage keeps both Converse and Right Guard in business.

casual. comfortable, jeans, shorts, sandals, gym shoes, vibrams, t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts, company logo shirts.

The Kalahari conference center is huge so be sure to wear shoes you can walk miles in.

In all fairness, Jim is running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.  as far as I'm concerned he can wear whatever he wants. (but, needs shorts and a t-shirt/Hawaiian shirt because he's burning so many calories).

I found the last couple of years I needed something other than shirt (blazer two years ago, which got me labelled "that guy", and sweaters last year).  But, I'm from Canada and don't like the code... YMMV.

Cheers -- Peter

now THAT is what I call a Freudian slip.

So Peter, what don't you like about the code. Did you mean all code, or just Canadian code?

Yeah, but did you look gooooooood!

As you know, my motto is "fashion over comfort".

LOL, that's pretty funny.  That's twice today the spell checker has miscorrected... :)
