COVID-19 Policies & Practices

The health and safety of our attendees, and community at large, is of the utmost importance to us. While our intent is to create a balance of safety and comfort for our attendees, we understand that the preference is to prioritize personal choice. We are also mindful of the impact COVID continues to have on the world around us. As such, please note the safety guidelines for in-person attendees of our 2024 convention:

• We strongly recommend, but do not require, that all in-person attendees ages 3 and up wear a mask covering their nose and mouth in convention areas. Masks have been proven to be an effective mitigation tactic for COVID and other diseases. We recommend viewing the CDC’s guidance on effective masks for guidance. We will have masks available at registration for anyone who would like one but does not have one.
• Please be aware that individual rooms may set their own mask requirement and are allowed to restrict access to anyone not following the policy. These rooms will have signage at the door and may not be listed below. Currently, the following room/rooms has/have decided to require masks for entry and will have signage at the door. This list may change:
  
  
  • The Lab
• We strongly encourage ensuring you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but will not be checking for proof of vaccination at badge pickup this year. The CDC has guidelines on what is considered fully vaccinated, for your reference.
• We strongly encourage testing for COVID-19 to receive a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of your attendance in person at the convention. Additionally, if you are sick, we ask that you please stay home.

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By attending the convention in person, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and other illnesses.

We are continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in our communities and utilize data and guidance from state and world governing health systems. We will continue to update these policies as needed.
