Attendees seeking a research-heavy or clinical-credit meeting would have gotten less from it, as the speakers were largely coaches, founders and presenters, and the event was a community gathering run by Bright Insight.
Attendees at community and personal development conferences like this usually wear relaxed casual clothes, such as jeans or comfortable layers, with sensory-friendly fabrics and comfortable shoes for moving between a hotel and a library.
