EMS Conference dress code

I know I'm super late on this thread, but you guys just crack me up!
 
Update: Turns out almost everyone wore jeans, t-shirts, and departmental jackets. I saw one or two full-on uniforms, but no stormtroopers, sadly. Now the evening "social events" were another story entirely. I saw things I can never unsee... :eek:
 
Oh do tell, do tell! And maybe you should -be- the storm trooper. ;)
 
There was a pool party...with intoxication...and smarmy people trolling around...

I saw body parts I don't even have a name for :oops:
 
ha ha! too funny...
 
Were you at EMS Today?

Do people normally wear EMS pants, or are jeans standard? There's con-ed involved, so I'm guessing we're going to need to be able to move freely (and not wear casual business atire etc).

As a dude I wear polos/slacks or button downs/slacks, and if lecturing depending on the audience I may wear a suit.

For ladies, I suggest "business casual" and I suggest you avoid asking dudes what that means ;-)

That's what I was wondering. Unfortunately the winter storm cancelled all my flights to the area and I ended up missing it. However, I saw some pictures that I was surprised to see on social media.
 
Didn't see Randy Mantooth this time (and I have seen him at a lot of shows). I saw mostly work gear. The only ones I met in regular "civilian" clothes were prof's from colleges.

Along the same lines...what do you expect the vendors or people manning the booths to wear? Some like suits, but the suits often get told to wear more casual rugby style collared shirts. What do you guys like to see?

Polos and khakis are fine for vendors.
 
I wear my favorite COED Naked EMS shirt along with my blue nomex wildland pants AND my fanny pack. Sport a pair of UVEX safety glasses too. Thats how people know im the real deal.

I feel like khakis and polos have become too overused. It's the uniform from grade school to high school to every big box retailer.
 
I need some help.... as stated previously, my usual conference dress code is T shirt and jeans, or polo and jeans..... but now I've been selected to speak on two separate topics... what's the appropriate dress? suit and tie? polo and khakis? flip flops and a Hawaiian shirt? jeans, polo and a jacket? need some advice from people who have already done it.
 
I’d go with a shirt/tie and a jacket. You don’t need a suit, but a step up from khakis and polo.
 
sport coat with casual dress shirt, no tie.
 
If ever there was an occasion to wear an 80’s-style blazer with elbow patches a la Bob Uecker along with a bolo tie...

Kidding or not (can't tell), that is an awesome idea....Any lecturer at a medical conference that wears a bolo tie better know what the heck he's talking about.
