IAAPA DUTY OF CARE

IAAPA Expo is right around the corner and the TRR team is excited to get back to Orlando, FL! (it's getting cold in Jersey!!).

With attendance expected to be as grand as the industry is used to, IAAPA has released its "Duty of Care" health and safety guidelines. See below for a snapshot of their standards and visit IAAPA.org for more information.

Duty of Care

IAAPA is focused on providing a safe and healthy environment for attendees, exhibitors, and our team at IAAPA Expo. IAAPA is working closely with our partners at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) and Orlando Health to develop and implement a comprehensive plan focused on a safe and successful IAAPA Expo 2021. IAAPA is also following the latest guidance and recommendations for large groups and meetings from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is a living document that will continue to evolve, incorporating innovative features that will further enhance the onsite experience and safety for everyone in attendance. Guidelines subject to change based on local health and safety policies. The following are as of Oct. 27, 2021.

COVID Risk Statement

Before you register, please note:

1. Public health agencies warn some individuals may be at increased risk in public places. Some government health organizations recommend people 65 years and older, those who live in nursing homes or long-term care facilities, and people with underlying medical conditions (particularly if not well controlled) should either remain home or keep their distance from others. Underlying medical conditions include conditions such as chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma, serious heart conditions, immunocompromise, severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 30 or higher), diabetes, chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis, and liver disease.

2. Guests, employees, and visitors need to abide by all guidelines and recommendations to ensure their own health and safety and to ensure the health and safety of others.

We rely on you to protect yourself:

• If you’re sick, please don’t participate and encourage your family/traveling party not to participate until everyone is well.

• Wash your hands with soap and water or sanitize your hands often, and particularly after you touch surfaces touched by others.

• Avoid touching your face.

• Maintain appropriate physical distance from others.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a mask/face covering

Even with precautions in place, there is still some risk of exposure to COVID-19. We are committed to keeping you healthy and safe and have taken a number of precautions, including those recommended by applicable health authorities, but we cannot guarantee you won’t be exposed to COVID-19.
