Meeting Atmosphere & "Dress Code"

We sincerely hope attendees will take our invitation to "come as you are" to this virtual gathering to heart! ARCUS Annual Meetings are intentionally designed to be fun, casual networking events. ALL ARE WELCOME and we completely appreciate the quirks and interruptions that accompany virtual participation (pets are always welcome to our meetings).

With the meeting being close to (after) Halloween, costumes and funny hats are welcome to help make the Annual Meeting a fun and creative experience!

Code of Conduct

We also invite everyone to take a couple moments to review the ARCUS Annual Meeting Code of Conduct to help ensure a positive experience for all participants.
