Meeting

Hey everyone,

I’m going to my first archaeology conference. There will be a dinner tomorrow night and I’m wondering if anyone knows how dressy people usually get at conference dinners? Skirts, slacks, jeans?

Thanks for the help! I’m going to be at the conference all day so I have to bring everything with me which is why I can’t ask people once I get there tomorrow.

I would definitely dress in at least business attire. I used to have to go to Real Estate conferences and the ladies all wore skirt outfits or business dresses to the dinner. I would even say if you have a pants/jacket business outfit, that would be fine, but make sure it’s classy. Can’t go wrong with a skirt, button blouse and jacket set. Have fun! THese things are always a blast!

   Just wear whatever you wear to the conference but make sure you bring a jacket if it will cool off.

   Archaeologists usually don’t know how to dress and won’t be in a position to judge you. Plus they will probably get so drunk they won’t remember it anyway.

   Business attire is the appropriate dress for a conference dinner. Remember these are the people that may be hiring you in the near future. While a few may become inebriated, most will not and will remember such behavior when it involves someone that will need to be trusted with complex projects.
