Our COVID-19 policy aims to balance the health and well-being of our community with the logistical realities of hosting an in-person conference. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with attendees about the COVID-related risks associated with attending our conference so each attendee can assess their personal risk tolerance in deciding whether to attend our Summit.
The policies below apply to all conference attendees and we may change these policies to become more stringent (but not less) before the Summit. We’ll make those policy changes primarily based on guidelines of Austin Public Health.
Vaccines and boosters:
Masks:
Testing:
