Convention Countdown: 21 Days- What to Wear To... The Networking Event


At this event, you will be paired with a Networking Mentor who will serve as your Convention Guide throughout the weekend. These Mentors will also be a resource to you after Convention comes to a close to help you make connections in the "real world" (whatever that is). 

Upon meeting your mentor, you want to make sure to stand out and are memorable. It will help you when contacting them down the road, as they will be meeting around 10 women to act as mentor for that night. A solid, summer colored dress is nice, with either a cardigan or casual blazer is a great look that says, "I'm fun, but I'm also here to work!". A dark colored dress or top is also a good choice, but I recommend wearing a colorful statement necklace to add a pop of color.   



If you're a guest presenter, Forbes Magazine recommends you wear a bright color blocked dress to help identify your silhouette so they can see you at the front of the audience to the back. 

Nude shoes are ALWAYS a good choice in the summer, as they are neutral enough not to stand out, but also give the illusion of your legs being longer than they are. I'll take all the help I can get at 5'3"!
