What do you wear to a science conference?
The dress code in most academic events (conferences included) is often called “academic casual”, and is not very strict. If you want to be sure to avoid any gaffe, just stay away from the short pants and T-shirts (overly casual), as well as full suits and ties (overdressed).
What should a woman wear to a conference?
For women, a foolproof cocktail party outfit can consist of a little black dress, heels and jewelry. Or, try pairing a midi-length skirt or dress pants with a silk blouse, heels or ballet flats and jewelry. If the dress code is business casual, dark jeans, ballet flats and a nice blouse will be more than adequate.
Why do conferences cost money?
The way many academic conferences work, it’s a gathering made by a certain circle/niche of researchers for themselves. The conference is not for showcasing research to outsiders, it is for exchanging research between themselves. One way or another, having such a gathering costs some money.
