I have an important question, What should I wear????
Seriously, Is it professional professional dress all the time? As in suits, ties, and the works, or just dress nice, no jeans?
Unless you are participating in the PTCC, dont bring your lab coat.
If you have responsibilities at the convention, like chapter delegate, then you need to wear at least a long sleeve shirt with a tie for guys and a suit for women. It does get a little cold sometimes on the House of Delegates floor so bring a jacket if you wish
If you are a chapter officer, regional officer or committee member, or an officer of another pharmacy related organization, you should be in professional dress with jacket. You are representing your respective organizations and it shouldnt be taken lightly.
If you are going for networking purposes, I would go professional dress with or without the jacket. Also, make sure to bring some business cards with you. It will make your life a whole heck of a lot easier.
If you are like most people and just going for a good time, dress business casual. The majority of attendees dress this way.
All rules are off for social events, so dress how you like.
For women when choosing a suit, dont pick the most conservative blue/black suit you can find. There are so many people that do that its amazing. When you see them as a group, you begin to wonder if you ended up at the National Flight Attendant Associations convention instead of a pharmacy convention. Wear something colorful and if you got something to show off, show it, but do it tastefully. The whole idea is to get noticed, but dont get noticed for the wrong reasons.
