Dress Code for Catholic Conferences?

Question:

If you’re at a conference that Mass is part of, can you dress casually all day, even if that means you’ll be dressing casually for Mass later?

Answer:

I recommend contacting the events coordinator of the conference and asking for the dress code or recommendations for handling any differences in appropriate dress code for different conference activities. There may be a variety of expectations depending on the preferences of the organizers, so asking for information is the only way to be sure you are prepared to meet their guidelines.
