Objective
After some initial optimism that the world was past the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Delta variant in combination with the societal battle over vaccine hesitancy vs. vaccine mandates has again pushed the meeting and event industry back into uncertainty.
In this webinar, we will hear medical, legal, and tactical perspectives on this next state of the pandemic and what options and obligations meeting planners have right now. We will parse the latest guidance from the CDC, explore health/vaccine passes, and hear directly from the trenches of a large trade show for best practices.
Learning Outcomes
- What the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic means for planning in-person events
- How health/vaccine passes work and what options planners have
- Legal obligations of requiring masks, proof of vaccine, and testing at events
- How to implement a vaccine or testing requirement and communicate it to attendees: a large-event case study
- Tips on enforcement of health and safety requirements
