We suggest business casual attire for all Health Care Symposium meetings and events. For men, that means dress pants (khakis are fine) and a shirt with a collar. For women, it means slacks or a skirt and a blouse.
We also recommend that you bring a sweater or light jacket, as meeting rooms and coastal air this time of year tend to be cool. You also may want to bring walking shoes or sneakers for your free-time activities.
