Organic Chemistry Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'll be attending a national conference through a poster presentation. I was wondering what to wear (as a guy). Should it be suit+tie or would a shirt with a collar be fine? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExercMed Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Think business casual. A dress shirt and dress pants usually does the trick. If you were doing an oral presentation then maybe a suit would be slightly more appropriate. Can I ask what conference specifically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunAndMoon Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Poster presentation shirt and dress pants...I've attended a few and don't think I really saw anyone presenting a poster wearing a full suit. Side note, interesting to see that how formal someone is at these conferences clothing-wise tends to be inversely proportional to how much of a big shot they are in their field hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhominem Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Depends on the conference. I have been to local research days in clinical departments where everyone wore a full suit, and international conferences where people wore jeans with a dress shirt.

I think ill stick with a classic dress shirt+pants. Can't go wrong with business casual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Make sure you wear an expensive pair of shoes. It will show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippa756 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Although make sure you break the shoes in beforehand - remember you will be on your feet for a long while. Made that mistake at a conference a few years ago in Budapest. I almost had to crawl back to my hotel and was useless for the last day of the conference - hard to network whilst grimacing and standing in one spot - lol!
