How to Have a Fantastic Trip to Tucson Arizona
The MHI Executive Summit and Annual Conference is almost here! That means it’s time to start preparing for your trip to the beautiful Tucson, Arizona. Here is some good-to-know advice on transportation, attractions, weather and food to help make your experience at Tucson fantastic.
Tucson Weather
October is one of the best months to visit Tucson. Temperature highs average between the low 90s and high 80s during the day. At night the temperature will take a dive to the high 50s and low 60s, so make sure to bring a sweater for the cooler nights. Attire at the conference is business casual including khaki pants, slacks, and skirts, as well as short-sleeved polo shirts and long-sleeved shirts. During dinner and networking events the dress code relaxes to “resort casual”. This includes polo style shirts, sundresses, linen pants, skirts, button-up tops, nice shorts, and dresses. Excludes t-shirts, jeans, cutoffs, and tank tops. If you get the chance to explore Tucson’s wildlife, parks, or other outdoor attractions, be sure to pack sunscreen and cool attire.
