Health & Safety Protocols

Here at RISE, we are dedicated to ensuring our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and staff have a healthier and safer conference experience. We are incorporating health and safety measures based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Please note that due to the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic, health and safety protocols are changing frequently, so we recommend checking back periodically for updates.

The following protocols are in place for in-person events until further notice.

Proof of Vaccination Required	Mask Policy Follows CDC Guidelines	Hand Sanitizing Recommended	Physical Distancing Appreciated
All attendees, exhibitors, speakers, and RISE staff must provide proof of COVID-19 full vaccination** to gain access to the event.	Following CDC guidance, individuals will be required to wear masks for the duration of the conference only if the event is taking place in a community categorized as high risk.	Hand sanitizing stations will be set up throughout the event in conjunction with the CDC recommendation of thorough hand washing.	Physical distancing will be encouraged through a color-coded system for attendees to self-select their comfort level for interacting with others.

We appreciate your understanding as we work hard to keep all attendees safe and healthy. If you are not feeling well or have reason to believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, we strongly urge you to follow the CDC guidelines for self-quarantine and not travel.
