Questions about the offsite

What's the scoop on the dress code?

It's looking to be a chilly week during our offsite. Highs of about 50F and lows of 30F. Make sure to pack warm layers (sweaters, down jackets, jeans, socks, beanies, close-toed shoes).

The dress code will be casual throughout the week - rule of thumb, don't wear anything you wouldn't wear to the office!

On Tuesday evening, we'll be at The Grid for some epic go-kart racing, arcade games, and karaoke sessions! So, jeans, sneakers, or your go-to casual attire are all good.

On Wednesday, get ready for a day packed with indoor and outdoor fun. We'll be exploring the mountains and enjoying laid-back activities. Dress comfy and casual. When evening falls, it's time for our awesome Oktoberfest celebration. The dress code is casual, but get ready for some competitive games and dance-offs!
If you're feeling fancy, let’s see you rock some traditional German attire!
