Dress Code 👗👔

Our conference encourages a flexible dress code that allows you to reflect your personal style while remaining professional and comfortable. Barcelona in October typically enjoys pleasant, mild weather, so layering is a good strategy to adapt to indoor and outdoor temperatures.

• Day 1 Site Tours: Business (smart) casual with comfort in mind. There will be walking and travel between locations, so comfortable footwear is essential. Consider light layers as the weather can be variable.
• 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.
