Dear Hugh
Thank you for
booking a place(s) to attend our XXXXXXXX on June 2012. To
help make the event as enjoyable as possible please read the full event details
below. ( This included :)
TIME:
7.30am - 10.00am
VENUE XXXXXX
Suite, Street, London .
DRESS CODE
Business Dress
The meeting agenda
did have 'on the bill of speakers' a Government Minister , a Chief
executive of a trade department for the Foreign Office ( Senior
Civil Servant), a case study practitioner and a leading social media provider
and was taking place in the city of London - the financial district.
So I thought Dress Code : Business means that I better keep be tie and suited. Well as you can see the "Business" dress code was interpreted quite freely from the photo below.

| Dress Code : BUSINESS as interpreted by the Audience at a breakfast meeting in Summer of 2012 |
At front stage :
The chairman of the Business Club was in a suit but without a neck tie.
The Government Minister and and the Civil servant were in suits and wore ties.
The Case study presenter was in smart casual with no tie and the social media team had a director in suit , shirt and no tie the rest of the team in company logoed T shirts - which looked great - but they were young and all had waists!!
Business Dress has changed considerably over the years in the UK.
The Buyers' views of Salespeople study which began in 1998 regularly asks two pertinent questions about dress code and selling. The first is how does the Buyer currently describe his office dress code and the second is the how should Salespeople dress when visiting the Buyer's premises on a 'dress down' day?
Of course it depends .
Of course it depends .
So therefore it is best if possible to ask ahead but if in doubt remain 'suited and booted.'
After all if you are overdressed you can aways take your jacket off - just like I did at the breakfast meeting.
Not sure I carry off a T shirt that well these days.
