Are you a first timer at the District 25 Conference?  Attending your first District 25 Toastmasters conference may seem a bit scary at first, but that’s why we have prepared this document for first timers.

What can I expect upon arrival?

Is there a dress code?
Daytime activities call for a business casual dress code (khakis and a polo shirt is fine.) Friday evening is your choice of either business casual attire or casual. Saturday evening is a more formal event so dress to impress (tux or suit and tie would be appropriate for men, evening dress for women.)

The conference is at the Marriott – Dallas/Fort Worth Westlake, 1301 Solana Blvd, Bldg. 3, Westlake, TX 76262. This is a great facility offering a conference room rate of $99/night.
