Rethinking Business as Usual Event | 17 June

Sorry (not sorry), but business attire is banned.

Find your craziest shirt, bright colours, or something that makes you smile when you wear it.

Psychologists call it “enclothed cognition”. Chill and wear what you like to open your mind and be free from the constraints of BAU. Creativity is boosted by clothing that is expressive and relaxed.
Prizes for the best!

Are you coming? We hope so.
