Attire
Business casual attire is recommended for sessions and mobile workshops. Business casual can be defined as "less formal than the standard suit and tie or dress." Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended! If you are participating in one of our mobile tours, please wear sensible walking shoes. Many excursions involve walking on uneven sidewalks, or constructions sites, so please plan accordingly.
