Your Safety is Our Top Priority

To ensure maximum safety, CHI has instituted mandatory health and safety protocols for all attendees, exhibitors, speakers and staff who attend in person.

Attendees who cannot participate because of this policy, or due to travel restrictions, are encouraged to participate using our highly praised virtual event platform. Our virtual events are designed to provide you with an in-person experience at your convenience, anywhere, anytime.

We are actively following news and recommendations around COVID-19 and the Omicron variant. These protocols are subject to change as we continue to learn more.

All in-person attendees must:

• Have a negative COVID-19 test result from an FDA-authorized, a WHO-authorized, or European authorized over-the-counter antigen test within 24 hours prior to arriving at the event. You will be asked your results at registration.

CHI recommends all attendees:

• Have an updated COVID 19 vaccination
• Wear a mask in public spaces at the event

CHI will follow all local guidelines. Read more about how our venue is working to ensure safety here. We’ll also have hand sanitizing stations available throughout the event space for your use.
