Conference Attire - Casual Resort Chic

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (Dec 5-7)

For the General Sessions, you’ll have full days of learning, networking, and connecting during your one-one-one meetings with our partners. We encourage a more resort-chic approach to your typical business casual attire, so you can feel comfortable while still looking your very best. The conference sessions run from around 9 to about 4 depending on if your are taking part in some breakouts and are being held in a room with marble floors, so keep that in mind if you’re the stiletto wearing type.

Jamaican-themed Beach Luncheon Attire

Wednesday, December 7th (for full conference attendees only. Not a part of the party package)

On the third day of the conference, we are hosting a fun Jamaican-themed luncheon! It will be held after all sessions are done. AMAZING food, cocktails, and entertainment await. It’s being held on a beach area on the Half Moon property, so you may want to change into more appropriate attire for lunch, or you can just keep that in mind when you plan your Wednesday conference attire. Jamaican colors of green, yellow and black are not obligatory, but if you are the type that likes to match a theme, GO ALL OUT.
