• Day 1 Coliving Awards Ceremony: Dress to impress! This is an evening of celebration, so bring your best outfit.
• Day 2 Panels & Networking: Smart casual or business formal. Feel free to express yourself while maintaining a professional appearance. Our event is human-centred, and we want everyone to feel as comfortable as possible.
