Covid-19 Safety Guidelines

We are committed to:

• Ensuring that all event staff comply with local masking guidelines at the time of the event.
• Requesting that attendees comply with local masking guidelines at the time of the event.
• Depending on the event venue and set up, we will allow space for social distancing at our events.
• Using directional signage to manage the flow of traffic in congested areas.
• Providing food and beverage options that are safely packaged or distributed for minimal contact.
• Ensuring that meeting spaces and meal rooms will be routinely cleaned. High touch areas will have increased cleaning.
• Limiting the amount of physical materials and in-person contact at the registration desk.

We need everyone’s partnership to do our part in keeping our community safe. If you join us for one of our in-person events, please plan to:

• Adhere to masking in accordance with local regulations.
• Follow relevant guidance provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), CDC or your local health authority.
• Adhere to social distance protocols put in place by the event organizers and respect others’ personal space.
• Immediately notify event staff at any time if you feel unwell or are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
• Adhere to government issued travel restrictions and guidance issued by the region you will be travelling to and the region you are travelling from.
• Evaluate your own health and that of people you are in close contact with; contact the meeting/event organizers if you have concerns.
• Stay home if you feel sick.
• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, or an alcohol-based sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Please be prepared to bring your laptop or tablet with you to the meeting as we will have electronic resources and evaluations for you to use while attending.

If masks are required per local regulations, please bring a mask with you onsite. We also encourage you to bring hand sanitizer and personal pens and paper. For safety, we will limit the amount of shared supplies at our meetings.

We require all attendees to adhere to masking in accordance with local regulations. Our event staff will wear masks as appropriate and in compliance with local masking guidelines at the time of the event.

There are no longer capacity limits or social distancing requirements at our meeting venues. While we are not limiting capacity in meeting spaces, we will have options for attendees to spread out and comfortably interact with each other. As always we will continue to follow state and local guidelines and create a space for attendees to comfortably and safely gather at our events.

Food and beverage options will depend on the specific meeting you are attending. We will share the meeting agenda with you prior to the event dates along with details on meals provided. At any meeting, our goal will always be to provide food and beverage in the safest manner possible.

For safety, we will limit printed materials and shared supplies at our meetings. We encourage you to bring your devices in order to take full advantage of virtual resources, meeting materials, evaluations and polls.
