Leave your suits at home and go for something relaxed but confident. Think business casual meets creativity: smart, comfortable attire that’s ready to move from keynotes to activations with ease. Jeans, blazers, and bold prints are welcome. Sneakers over stilettos, and if you feel like throwing on some bright colors to match the energy of the summit, even better! This is your chance to disrupt the norm, so wear something that lets you be you.
