:::Dress Code
Dress code is casual. It will be hot in August in Arizona, there is no other way to describe it. Average daytime temperature is 105F/40.5C.
Please be respectful of others by dressing in a manner that does not distract from the learning environment. Costumes are not a good choice for this event.
As a courtesy to all in this small group, please do not wear colognes and perfumes.
Also be ready, clothing wise, for our meeting rooms to run through a variety of temperatures from warm to cold.
They are never the right temperature for everyone.
:::Smoking
The hotel is a non-smoking facility as are most public buildings in Arizona. There are designated smoking areas outside the meeting space.
