Dress Code Congress:

While Darwin in October is hot and humid, the congress is being held in the Darwin Convention Centre which is fully airconditioned. Dress code for the congress is ‘business casual’.

 

Dress Code Gala Dinner:

If you have purchased a Gala Dinner ticket (it is not too late!) the dress code is ‘Territory formal’. This means formal but relaxed. Eg formal or cocktail dresses, long pants, button up shirts - ties optional. Feel free to dress up or down as much as you please, however no flip flops, shorts or singlets. Traditional dress is welcome!

 

Congress Food and Refreshments:

Morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea as well as tea/coffee/refreshments are all included in the congress ticket. Breakfast and dinner are not provided. However, there is light catering provided on the evening of Monday 21^st – at the Welcome Reception.

 

Any further queries, please email wmc...@menzies.edu.au.

 

We look forward to seeing you there.

 

Regards Mark
