FLOAT FAQs

While FLOAT does not have an official dress code, we do recommend certain levels of attire for various events at the convention:​

Classrooms – Business casual

Hands-On Opportunities – Working attire

Opening Night – Business casual is always ok, but costumes and LOTS of orange attire and accents are more than welcome!

Designer Awards Gala – At minimum, please be dressed in semi-formal attire, while formal is perfectly welcome. Please show the artists nominated for the awards the respect they are entitled to and dress appropriately.

This is not a question we can really answer for you, but here are a few things to ask yourself before registering for FLOAT:

​1. Have you been working in balloons for at least two years?

​2. Are you averaging professionally paid jobs at least once a week?

​3. Are you working legally? As in with proper licenses and permits, insurance, etc?

​If you can answer yes to all of these questions, then yes, you are in line to attend FLOAT.

​If you cannot answer yes to all of these questions, understand that there may be certain elements to FLOAT that are more advanced than you are.

​Also keep in mind that at all times, FLOAT’s instructors have the right to refer questions of yours until after class if he or she feels like the question is below the level of the class and will potentially slow things down for the others.

If you have a question that was not already covered by these FAQs, please send an email to Steve@FLOATConvention.com.

​If your question was already covered here on the website, you will receive a link to that answer. Please do not be offended by this if this occurs to you; we simply do not have adequate time to respond over and over again to the same questions when the information can already be found on our website.
