Will I be required to maintain social distancing from other attendees?
No, however, the venue will be configured to have more space, outdoor areas for networking, etc., to provide for less density.
What if I don't want to be near other attendees?
Badges will have color-coded stickers that indicate individuals' comfort level with social distancing. Green stickers mean that person is ok with hand-shakes or fist bumps, while yellow stickers do not want close interactions. Red stickers mean, please give more distance.
How can I register my vaccination record early, so I don't have to wait in line?
If we can figure this out, details for this will be emailed to attendees so that early verification can be done.
How can I take a COVID test that meets the conference requirements?
You can bring proof of a negative Covid test taken within two days of the conference. There will also be a health team on-site that must administer and verify the test. The cost to the attendee will be the pass-through cost of what we buy them at per day (reminder - unvaccinated persons must produce a negative test result). Vaccinated persons only need to show their proof of vaccination and do not need a daily test. </section>
