A Word About Badges: Yes, You Do Need Them!

When you arrive at 4Front, you’ll need to check in at the registration counter or self-check-in kiosk, where you will receive your badge. Attendees will not be allowed to pick up other attendees’ badges/materials. You must wear your badge to all official 4Front events.

If you lose your badge at the conference, there will be a $50 fee for a replacement. Please visit the onsite 4Front event registration desk for assistance.

4Front Fashion: What to Wear (and What Not to Wear) 

Attire for the 4Front conference is business casual, with an emphasis on comfort. Your wardrobe can include polo shirts, sweaters, blazers, blouses and—most important—comfortable shoes. Keep in mind that you’ll be walking and standing quite a bit as you move between sessions and mingle with fellow visionaries, so leave the blister- and pain-inducing footwear at home.

Beyond the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, fashion in Denver is best described as outdoor casual. It’s not uncommon to see diners at local restaurants who appear ready to run a 5K, so you can probably leave your tux and ballgown at home and instead pack casual sportswear for any excursions into Denver or the surrounding area.

Don’t forget your layers! Here’s a fair warning: Colorado weather can be complicated. Summer is peak thunderstorm season along the Front Range, so there can be wild temperature swings, downpours, hail and strong winds. It’s probably a good idea to pack a light, water- and wind-resistant jacket that can protect you from any weather drama. Also, be prepared to go from fiercely refrigerated meeting rooms to Colorado’s summer heat and back again!

If you plan to do anything outdoors, remember that you’re a mile closer to the sun! Sunscreen is highly suggested and indeed fashionable in Denver. Avoid dehydration in Denver’s dry weather, too: It’s a good idea to increase your water intake while at the conference.

Mingle Mastery: How to Create a New Human Network

The whole point of the 4Front conference is to share ideas about the future of living, working, learning and playing, so make the most of your time alongside fellow visionaries with these networking tips:

  • Break away from the pack. If you’re attending 4Front with other representatives of your company or organization, make a point to strike up conversations with other attendees.
  • Do your homework. Check out the 4Front agenda ahead of time and identify speakers or panel members that are of particular interest to you because of their expertise. You’ll not only have a better perspective regarding their comments during the sessions, you’ll also be able to identify them in person and be able to approach them after a panel session, during breaks or at receptions. Remember, 4Front is about sharing ideas.
  • Take advantage of receptions and cocktail parties. Social events often present excellent opportunities for conversations with speakers or fellow attendees.

COME FOR 4FRONT, STAY FOR DENVER

Colorado’s largest city, Denver, was ranked 34th fastest-growing overall but when looking only at large cities (those with more than 300,000 residents), the Mile High City came in at number five.
