We are committed to providing a safer environment for conference attendees, especially regarding community and public health.
There is no “zero risk” in-person event; however, we aim to make the conference safer for our community and to mitigate risks as much as possible. We ask that you consider the inherent risk of exposure, act as if you will come into contact with COVID-19, and take actions to protect yourself and others through good masking and hygiene.
We trust our community to respect each other’s health, comfort, and safety.
