Woo hoo! Can't wait for the conference ... but am curious ... is this a formal conference or informal?

Formal attire only for ciml. :)

Star wars t-shirts will probably be popular as will anything that plays on the 'intel inside' slogan, i.e. Evil Inside etc

it's always casual, whatever you feel comfortable in.

It depends on the forum you spend the most time in:
* Private Forums: you have paid your dues to walk the inner sanctum: black and white medieval harlequin guise with face painted to indicate which SEO philosophy you practice. Don't forget the bells on your toes.

* Browser Side World: otherwise known as Designer World so emulate the most over-the-top Art Director you've ever seen. A copy of "HTML for Newbies"or "CSS for Sissies" in hand plus a "W3C Validated" lapel button will allow everyone to class you correctly.

* The Webmaster World: or Techie World to the initiated. The most informal of the forums - short sleeved button-down shirt with pocket protector, jeans, black dress socks and sandals are "in" this, and apparently every, season.

* Yahoo World: The oldest of the WWW secret societies: providing you know the correct yodel and response sequence plus the current crypto handshake clothing is simply one more fetish guiding your accurate listing.

* The Marketing World: Clothing makes the (wo)man in marketing. The serious (wo)man wears a serious suit with appropriately dull tie pulled tight. Do not let the heat and humidity of New Orleans remove that winter weight virgin wool attire - the bar will be air-conditioned.

* The Advertising World: Bright primary colours in unusual combinations, open collar with very loose cartoon character tie. Note: yellow plaid is acceptable. If you don't smoke, style. Just one caution - your voice must be louder than your clothes.

* The Google World: To be safe query the Googleplex at dresscode.google.com. Remember that to dress against the ToS is evil and you can not remain listed in Google World if you are evil. At New Orleans you will have the opportunity to view real live Google engineers (ignore the wireless implants - cyborg.google.com is still top secret) - dressing similarly would be safe. You can always ask GG - he's the masked man taking names.

* The Search Engine World: A lot of choices here. Every national and ethnic dress/kilt you can imagine. Note: There is an unconfirmed rumour that wearing Redmond casual (see Steve Balmer pic for specifics) rates as 100-points with the MSN algorithm.

* Local: clown suit. This is, after all, the home of foo and telling Brett what to do.
