We will continue to monitor evolving guidelines and post updates on this page, as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will attendees be asked to wear masks?
We are recommending that all attendees — regardless of vaccination status — wear a face covering while attending the event, except when actively eating or drinking or gathering outdoors.
We will continue to monitor evolving public health guidance regarding large gathering settings and the local level of COVID-19 community transmission in Orange County and will advise attendees and exhibitors of any changes that may be made to our mask requirements.
What should I expect in the common areas of the event?
All areas will have sanitization resources and will be required to use EPA-approved cleaning solutions. Increased cleaning protocols will be implemented, including for high-touch areas and/or demonstration products. Additionally, in the exhibit hall, we will facilitate appropriate space between and within Partner Hall sites. There will also be additional efforts to alleviate any potential congestion. We will also be encouraging individually portioned food/beverage options, to the extent they remain available.
What should I expect at the General Sessions and Focus Sessions?
In sessions, speakers will have the option to use disposable face shields or other protective measures when presenting. We will make efforts to ensure panels of speakers are spaced as much as practicable.
Attendee/audience seating may be modified to allow for compliance with reduced capacity guidelines, and room sets may be modified to accommodate increased spacing. Overflow seating and live stream simulcast may be implemented for certain presentations.
What should I expect at networking events?
We are still exploring best practices for on-site networking events. We will work to offer robust opportunities to engage with your peers and colleagues on-site, with modifications to traditional event settings that help mitigate risks. Specifically, events may include access to outdoor areas, individually portioned food/beverage options, alternative food/beverage service protocols, adjusted spacing, and other accommodations. Please stay tuned for more details about specific networking events.
What if I have additional questions?
We will continue to update this website and provide additional communications to attendees and exhibitors; please check back regularly.
