COVID PROTOCOLS:

We are excited to finally come together after nearly two years.  And we want everyone to stay healthy during and after our event. 

This year for the safety of everyone, we will be asking for attendees to wear masks indoors except when eating or drinking.  Presenters may remove masks to present and we plan to space out panelists who are presenting together.  

HEALTH PASS QR CODE - UPLOAD NEGATIVE COVID TEST RESULT OR VACCINE CARD 

Also - we will be asking all participants to submit a negative COVID test within 3 days of arrival or upload a copy of their vaccine card to the Health pass prior to arrival.  We will be working with a HIPPA compliant secure provider.  The process to upload for verification will be easy and secure and works with the Clear system used at stadiums and theaters around the country. Instructions will be sent 10 days prior to the event. Learn more here.
