Business Casual. Some people wear suits though (and some street clothes).

Banking > VC > Tech PE; PM me if you would like any advice I'm happy to help
 

come however you want, (ok, not in your pyjamas or destroyed jeans); as long as you can communicate effectively, you have something interesting to say and don't just press the "play" button each time u talk to somebody, everything will be fine...Most people that go to these events are sooooo pretentious and fake, that if you follow this advice you'll attract attention.

 

I used to wear a blazer and no tie. The kids wearing suits I thought looked liked they were trying too hard and kids with just jeans looked sort of sloppy. I agree with the above advice about people being pretentious fake. Have a few intelligent questions prepared.
