Barcelona in October is known for mostly sunny days with a possibility of showers—especially later in the month. Daytime temperatures are usually enjoyable with an average of 23 degrees Celsius (73 degrees Fahrenheit) and evenings tend to be cooler with an average low of 16 degrees Celsius (60 degrees Fahrenheit).

Typical event attire is casual to business casual. Meeting rooms are often cooler, so we recommend you bring a sweater or light jacket. 

For those participating in the optional club tours, casual or athleisure is acceptable. No open-toe shoes or flip flops are allowed.

The HFA app is the best way to receive and send communications while onsite as well as to view and customize your schedule. Details on how to access it will be emailed to all attendees in early October.

Subject to availability, all registered attendees are welcome to add the club tours onto their registration for an additional fee.
