Planning Ahead for Live Conferences: ACI’s All Secure Safety Plan As American Conference Institute and our partners plan for in-person events, we are committed to building and enhancing the planning and preparation with a view to offering our guests a safe place for live conference delivery. In addition, to ensure your safety, our event staff is fully vaccinated.

All our events will adhere to official government and local authority guidance in addition to venue or location-specific regulations, and will follow the commitments below.

In-person Conference Participation Requirements For the protection and wellbeing of all event attendees, we have implemented a vaccination requirement for entry into the conference. All attendees and staff are required to provide proof of being fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine. A negative COVID-19 test result will not qualify for entry into the conference. Vaccination proof must be accompanied with a government-issued ID.

Attendance Screening All attendees will need to assert that at the time that they first attend the conference and for the 14 days prior: y They are not experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. y Have not traveled from an area under a travel health advisory. y Have not provided care for or had close contact with any person with or reasonably suspected of having COVID-19, or with any person who traveled outside of your home country or to an area under a travel health advisory. y Have not been advised by any health authority, government agency or regulation to selfisolate due to possible exposure to COVID-19.

Link to COVID-19 symptoms: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html We are closely monitoring industry best practices and will be evaluating further additional measures pertaining to vaccinations and on-site screening based on the advice of health authorities.

All Secure

As per the guidance of the CDC, and the updated mask mandate that has been put in place by local government officials, masks are now required in all indoor public venues and businesses except while eating and drinking.

We reserve the right to deny entry to anyone not following the requirements above. Please note our entry policy is subject to change at any time based on changing local regulations.

Enhanced Communication y Advance communication to all attendees on what to expect and prepare for at the conference: from registration to conference materials to room layout to food and beverage options and more. y Education and training for the team to ensure we provide a safe and secure conference experience. y Distribution of local health-resource information in advance of the event. y Ongoing communication and advance planning with the venue regarding enhanced cleaning and sanitizing measures, response strategies and other onsite protocols.

Increased Cleaning and Sanitation y Placement of hygiene stations throughout the conference including the registration area, meeting spaces and high frequency areas. y Availability of personal hygiene and safety products including facial coverings where available.
