The theme for this year’s attendee appreciation event is “Casino Royale: Bet on Duck Creek!”
"Casino Royale: Bet on Duck Creek" is where glamour meets excitement! Step into a world of dazzling lights and daring bets as we bring the thrill of the casino to life. Try your luck at the tables, sip a perfectly shaken martini at our signature bar, and dance the night away to a live band that keeps the energy soaring. Just like a secret agent’s mission, this evening is all about bold moves, sharp strategy, and unforgettable fun. Join us as we celebrate innovation, collaboration, and the thrill of taking chances—because at Duck Creek, the future is always worth betting on.
Average Temperatures in May: High 85° / Low 63°
The vibe is relaxed and fun, so dress in whatever makes you feel your best. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Comfortable shoes: You’ll be on the move, so think sneakers or anything comfy.
- A jacket: Mornings and evenings can be cool, with temps dipping into the 60s.
- Workout gear: Don’t miss our pre-event sessions—Yoga or the legendary Ben’s Bootcamp!
- Cocktail Casual: Dress to impress—without the tux! Think sleek and stylish, but comfortable enough to hit the blackjack tables and dance to the band. A chic dress, smart separates, or a sharp blazer with jeans works perfectly. Add a pop of glamour with bold accessories or a splash of sparkle for that casino vibe. And of course, a martini in hand completes the look—shaken, not stirred of course!
