Know Before You Go!
What to Wear
This is what you should plan to wear each day you’re at ADPi Academy:
- Friday: School Spirit Casual – Pair your favorite school spirit shirt (t-shirts or sweatshirts are appropriate) with nice jeans and booties, sneakers, or dress shoes.
- Saturday: Blue and White Business Casual
- We encourage you to dress in blue and white on Saturday! Dress up your go-to pair of pants with a fun pair of ankle boots, add heels to elevate flared jeans, pair a jumpsuit with a collared shirt, or dress up your favorite pair of jeans with a blazer and you’ll be good to go. This will be a day where you’ll be in educational sessions all day, so you’ll want to consider comfort in what you wear!
- Sunday: ADPi Casual – Show off your ADPi spirit with a letters or a favorite ADPi shirt (t-shirts or sweatshirts are appropriate) with nice jeans and booties, sneakers, or dress shoes.
You are encouraged to dress comfortably throughout the weekend in whatever allows you to be ready to learn and prepared to enjoy all the activities. Hotel meeting rooms tend to be a bit cool, so you may want to bring a light jacket or sweater.
Nametags will be provided onsite.
