Our attendees’ health and safety remain our top priority as we continue to monitor COVID-19. We will follow all venue, local, and CDC guidelines to make the best and most informed decisions around onsite safety and requirements.

This list, and all protocols, are subject to change as the COVID-19 guidelines evolve.

• Proof of full vaccination will be required at badge pickup.
• An outdoor area will be available for mask breaks and eating/drinking.
• Hand sanitation stations will be available throughout the venue with alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
