The dress code for the conference is business casual (i.e. slacks, casual dresses) to business attire (i.e. business suits, neckties). Meeting room temperatures will vary, so wear layered clothing to ensure your personal comfort. We also recommend attendees wear comfortable shoes.

Meeting Room Overcrowding
ASCE will make every effort to schedule popular events in rooms large enough to accommodate anticipated attendance.
