what should i wear for a professional conference?

March 8, 2010 - 8:27 am 4 Comments

I have a professional annual conference for the feild I am studying. It is taking place in NYC at a major hotel. I am not presenting at the conference, but I am going as a student looking to get more information (and NETWORK). I know they say for interviews, dress for the job you want, but should I wear a suit to this event? Or could I be more business casual (blouse with pants or a skirt)?

I would go with a business suit. You want to look as professional as possible, especially if your networking. You want to people to leave with the impression that, "wow this person looks like someone that could work for us." You want to stand out in peoples’ minds, but not over do it either, so like I said, a nice business suit should do.

    It would be better if you wear a suit so as to give others a good impression on you.
