Attire/Clothing/Dress Code
All attendees must dress in a both a "street legal" and an appropriate manner when not in the AIS Event areas of the hotel. If you have to ask if something is inappropriate - it probably is. During the Event, there will be hangers and a clothes rack area within the Social Area, to change into whatever you want to wear (including nothing!). However, other hallways, the parking lot, the hotel lobby, local businesses/restaurants, etc... are not part of the event and that vanilla behavior and attire are required.

Armbands/Badges
All attendees of the AIS event will be required to wear an armband and name badge at all times. The name badge may be removed for play while within the play-space. The "play-space exception" is the only exception to this rule - so be sure to always wear your name badge and allow it to be visible while within the AIS Event Space.
Your name badge and wristband are required for entry - take good care of the one you have - if your badge has to be replaced... there will be a $10.00 replacement charge.

If either are in jeopardy, the offending person will be immediately ejected from the event and banned from further AIS events or functions.
