Dress is casual. I have been to several forums and you see people wearing jeans and t-shirts as well as business casual. I always bring a sweater or jacket with me as some of the meeting rooms get pretty chilly. I am opting for comfort this forum.

Most attendees wear business casual, although often presenters will step it up just a bit. Remember that convention center presentation rooms tend to be on the COLD side.
As an old-timer, I just want to add that I have noticed a trend among the younger attendees to dress up a bit more. Suits are a novelty to them, so some look for opportunities to wear them.
