What Should We Wear for A Virtual Conference like Leadership Summit?
Aim to wear business or professional attire during speaker sessions and workshops. We encourage all attendees to have their cameras “on” for the sessions. Treat this like an in-person conference and stay engaged with the events.

Anything else I should know about Leadership Summit?
Remember, at the conference you are not only representing your chapter (and school, if applicable) you are also representing P.A.D. Be courteous to other attendees and be mindful of P.A.D.’s Event Code of Conduct.

Don’t forget to have some fun with your fellow P.A.D. members and make meaningful memories along the way!
