From The Home Office [P] (January 10, 2014):
"- There are indeed 2 formal nights. (Monday and Thursday)
- On the site inspections and on JCCC3, they were generally reasonably flexible as to what constituted "formal." My personal suggestion would be "look like you're at least making an effort:" non-bluejeans pants, collared/button-up shirt and a jacket for men, if not jacket and tie; a "nice dress/outfit" for women (as opposed to, say, a bathing suit coverup); and shoes that are not sneakers or sandals/flip-flops. That sort of thing. I won't *guarantee* you'll be okay, but I bet you will.
- Didn't see much at all in the way of enforcement of the semi-formal nights; again, as a general rule, on the non-formal nights, don't wear shorts, flip-flops, t-shirts with art/ironic jokes on them, etc., and you should be safe.
- As with last year, there will be open seating with optional fixed seating—the form for that will be coming out soon. We know it's not a perfect setup, and can involve some junior high cafeteria "where the heck am I gonna sit?" stress for some; but we feel it's still preferable to permanent fixed seating, or some complicated algorithm for rotating seating.
Also, we've noticed a general, unspoken trend the past few years that dinner tends to get less and less populated as the week rolls on. Not by a *huge* percentage; but we see an increasing overall number of empty seats around the room; which theoretically should make it a little easier to "mingle around" a bit as the week rolls on. So much SOON happening!"
