Dinner and Dance
Saturday afternoon, we’re shining the spotlight on our amazing employees during the General Session. After dinner, employees who RSVPed to attend are invited to revel in the afterglow as we come together to have fun, unwind, and dance the night away with live music and refreshments. Help Paint the Town Red again this year by wearing red from head to toe or keeping it simple with a red tie or bow. Whether you purchase something new or decide to showcase your favorite outfit, we encourage you to dress to impress in business casual or cocktail attire. Want to wear a different color? Then consider adding a splash of red with a hair clip, ribbon, nail polish, tie, or hat. While including red is certainly not required, we hope that you’ll embrace the creative spirit of the evening and have fun with it.
Dress Code
One of the most frequent Awards Weekend questions is about what to wear. Business casual is expected during the All Directors meetings.
The Divisional Luncheon Captain representing your division will communicate details about your luncheon’s theme. While you and your teams are encouraged to dress in theme and have fun, please be mindful of choosing attire, costumes, and props that are not perceived as inappropriate or culturally insensitive.
With only an hour between the Divisional Luncheons and General Session, employees typically arrive still in costume or in business attire.
Business casual attire includes the following:
- Blouse or sweater
- Collared button-down shirt
- Pullover sweaters and half-zip pullover sweaters with a collar and collared shirt
- Tie optional
- Dresses
- Slacks or business casual pants (khakis are acceptable)
- A sport coat is preferred but not required
