Update #1: March 6, 2022
Update # 2: March 16, 2022
Update # 3: March 21, 2022
NAYDO established guidelines for conference activities to promote safety for all attendees, speakers, and exhibitors. We are closely monitoring the status of the pandemic, staying abreast of the latest trends in large group events regarding safety practices and attendee guidelines, and consulting with our medical advisor. As promised this information is being updated, and the process simplified as conditions are changing. There will be an additional update before the conference.
Purpose: Start the conference with acknowledgement by all involved of the steps they have personally taken to minimize the risk of exposure to or spread of Covid to others.
