Dress Code
The dress code for the entire conference is “studio casual”. Our main focus is on learning – so please dress however you like, as long as it helps you stay comfortable throughout the day. Just like at a studio, some may prefer to wear a shirt and a jacket, while others will opt for a Megadeth tour hoodie – anything and everything works for us, as long as it works for you.
Weather Advice
All the presentations, as well as lunches and dinners, happen outdoors under two huge tents, with the sides kept open, as we prioritize clean air and personal safety. At this time, we expect the weather to be sunny, with 10C/50F at night and 20C/70F at daytime. Please check the weather forecast prior to arrival. We recommend to bring sunglasses as well as hoodies or light jackets to stay comfortable both at the peak of the deay, with full sun, and at evenings, with a wind and maybe even some rain.
