There will be a dream costume parade that begins at 6:00 ET. You will have 1 minute to present how your costume relates to your dream (2 minutes for groups). As an online conference, there will be chances to use Zoom filters to \u201ccostume\u201d yourself without even changing your clothes! You will get some information about how to do this in your pre-conference instructions, but you might want to practice so that your Dream Ball experience goes smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you will enjoy this dream community celebration and magical conclusion to the conference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU PREPARE FOR THE DREAM BALL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>from the Dream Ball Committee and Diversity Task Force Advisory Committee (DAC)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PLEASE NOTE: Cultural Appreciation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dreams are diversely populated, that\u2019s a beautiful thing.
