What is the conference dress code?

The dress code for all RealWorld events is business casual or smart casual, including slacks, jeans or casual dresses. Smart casual attire is a dress code that combines well-fitting, polished business wear with elements of casual attire—think blouses, polo shirts, button-downs, chinos, dress pants, sport coat, dark-wash jeans, and polished, practical footwear. Smart casual lies between dressy casual (jeans and blouses) and business casual (dress pants and pencil skirts). A common way to achieve a smart casual look is to pair pieces of slightly different formality levels, like a pencil skirt with a vibrant sweater, or a refined blazer over a blouse or polo shirt. A light jacket or sweater may come in handy for air-conditioned rooms. To ensure access to all events, your RealWorld name badge always needs to be in view, including during the Tuesday night party.

How do I pay for my conference registration?

We accept all major credit cards.

When will I receive my name badge?

All name badges and welcome packets will be distributed onsite at the registration desk when you check in for the event. They will not be mailed in advance.
