Dress Code
ASHES prefers to provide a relaxed environment for all attendees and exhibitors. We suggest resort casual dress throughout the conference. However, tastes and professional preferences may differ so we leave the dress code to individual, but appropriate, preferences. Appropriate attire may include slacks, khakis, collared shirts and blouses or logo wear. Temperatures in the month of September in San Antonio average 80°. 

Please note:

• Meeting room temperatures vary, so while it may be very warm outside, you may want to bring a sweater or jacket. 
• The ASHES Awards Dinner attire is business casual. However, we recognize some attendees prefer a more elegant attire.
