Clothing etiquette or dress code for IEEE conferences?

r/

I’m attending an IEEE conference (ICASSP in India) for the first time in my life. I’m not an author or a presenter, just an attendee. What is the dressing norm for such conferences?

Here’s what I wear everyday for work:
1. Graphic tees, tees with printed text, hoodies, shirts with floral patterns, basic smart casual shirts
2. Jeans (not ripped), chinos, track pants, shorts
3. Casual shoes, flip flops, slippers

I have no formals and just 1 or 2 smart casual shirts, but the conference goes for a week, so I’ll have to be buying new clothes depending on your responses. Please let me know, thanks in advance!

    Your basic smart casual shirt and chinos will work.

    My experience with IGARSS has been dark jeans or chinos with nice shirts that pass for business casual. Sneakers are fine so long as they aren’t tattered.

    Do not wear slippers or flip flops. Put on a shirt.
