ADEC is committed to ensuring a safe and engaging environment for the 2022 Conference. The health & safety of all participants is ADEC's main priority.

We understand that rapid developments continue around the spread of COVID-19 and related federal and state agency guidelines. We aim to be responsive and may adjust policies. We will review COVID event policies and may update as frequently as bi-weekly leading up to the event. Thank you!

Review what we'll be doing at Conference to help keep participants safe:

• Proof of COVID-19 vaccination for all participants (attendees, staff, vendors) is required to finalize in-person registration.
  • At Conference check-in, each attendee must show their ID, along with one of the following accepted proofs of vaccination:
    • CDC and WHO cards – original or digital image
    • Vaccine Verification apps from all US States
    • International vaccine verification documents
      
      
• Masks are required to be worn indoors by all participants unless actively eating, drinking, or presenting.
  • Disposable surgical masks will be available at registration; participants are encouraged to bring their own.
    
    
• ADEC will enforce a wellness policy which is required consent during registration by all participants as a condition of onsite participation. This includes the stipulation that if you feel sick or are experiencing COVID-like symptoms prior to traveling to or while onsite you will not participate in the event in-person. Such attendees will be automatically provided access to the online version of the conference.
  
  
• Hand sanitizer stations will be located throughout the event space and individual hand sanitizer will be distributed to all participants. Everyone should utilize hand sanitizer frequently.
  
  
• ADEC’s events management team will work closely with venue staff to ensure that:
  • Seating in event spaces is spread out according to CDC guidelines
  • Food & beverage is served in the safest manner possible
  • Meeting rooms are being sanitized in-between each session
    
    
• No on-site, day-of event registrations will be permitted.
  
  
• It is strongly recommended that all participants take a COVID-19 test prior to traveling, as close as possible to their departure.
