Conference Considerations
Planning for meetings in a post-quarantine society
The facility will
- Follow CDC guidelines.
- Disinfect meeting rooms, laptops, microphones, slide advancers, etc.
- Provide access to hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes during the event.
- Stagger seating and limit group sizes (see COVID compliant capacity chart)
- Tape lines for registration/attendee spacing.
- Work with groups to provide low/no contact food service.
- Staff have daily temperature checks and follow health precautions if symptomatic.
The attendees should
- Complete a self screening before coming to campus and do not attend the meeting if you fail the screening or are not feeling well.
- Wear a mask when on campus, homemade masks are encouraged.
- Socially distance when onsite.
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer if a sink is not present.
- Bring your own pen and note taking supplies.
The host should
- Review registration procedures. For example, can attendees be checked in electronically or without sharing a pen?
- Consider a hybrid meeting.
- Plan meeting around COVID-compliant capacities.
- Stagger break times and pick pre-packaged menu items.
- Temperature scan all attendees. ECSS has infrared forehead thermometers for clients to use upon request.
- Offer masks to attendees.
