As for dress at the convention .... anything goes during the days, mostly 
quite casual, i.e. slacks, jeans.  For the banquet, I've SEEN everything, but 
I personally think it's nice to dress up a little ... a nice dress (not 
necessarily formal but could be) for the ladies, slacks, dress shirt, blazer 
(tie optional) for men.  But you will see everything from jeans to western 
wear to costumes (!)  There's certainly no rule nor judgement.  I like to 
dress up a little because I have very few opportunities in my lifestyle, and 
I LOVE pretty clothes.
