Dress Code
The dress code for the entire conference is “studio casual”. Our focus is on learning – so please dress however you like, as long as it helps you stay comfortable throughout the day. Some may prefer a shirt and a jacket, while others may opt for the official jersey of the Federación Colombiana de Lucha Olympica – our strength is in our diversity.
Weather Advice
All the presentations, as well as breakfasts, lunches and dinners, happen outdoors under the tents, with the sides kept open (we prioritize clean air and personal safety). At this time of the year in Vilnius, the temperature should be between 10C/50F at night and 20C/70F at daytime (colder than Berlin, warmer than Helsinki). We recommend sunglasses as well as light jackets to stay comfortable both at the peak of the day, with full sun, and at evenings, with a wind (and maybe even some rain).
