👕 Costume theme: Retro Futurism

Pull out your vintage fits and give them a futuristic twist! Think 60’s-inspired outfits - silver, sparkles, turtlenecks, and structured shapes with bright pops of colour. Channel space-age fashion and make your fit look out of this world!

👋 Keen to meet someone new?

The Neo Ambassadors will be handing out these bracelets as you line up - make sure to wear so others know you’re up for a chat!
