The short answer is no. There is no official dress code, so you can be casual, business formal, or anywhere in between. With that being said, we will be offering free headshots for anyone who'd like one, so keep that in mind if you prefer to be dressed up and/or in Roni's attire for your picture.

All registration fees are nonrefundable unless the event is canceled.
