Our health and safety plan
Our first responsibility is to you, our attendees, our exhibitors, our speakers and our team. We’re 100% committed to your health and safety. We’re putting rigorous plans in place for our safe return to live, in-person conferences and events.
We’re working closely with our hotel partners, as we follow all federal, state, and local laws while considering CDC guidelines.
Our health and safety plan is designed to create the best experience possible, one where you can safely and effectively learn and network. We hope the guidelines below answer your questions. We cannot wait to welcome you to an upcoming International Living Event.
