What health and safety guidelines will be in place to protect people who attend in-person?

The full NSC COVID-19 Health and Safety Event Management Procedure can be accessed here.

Why did the NSC Health and Safety Event Management Procedure recently change?

The general health of our attendees maintains our top priority. NSC continues to evaluate the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of risk to our employees, customers and visitors, their families and the community at large. The risk of serious illness or hospitalization as a result of COVID-19 infection has significantly decreased in the US over the last several months. Therefore, after consulting the latest CDC guidance, we adjusted our procedures to align with the current situation while creating a safe and inclusive event experience.

Is a negative COVID-19 test result or proof of vaccination required for entry to the event?

Yes. Everyone exhibiting, attending or participating in NSC-affiliated meetings must provide a negative COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result taken within 72 hours of the start of the event or provide proof of full vaccination by uploading an image of a government issued COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card.  Attendees are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series (such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines) OR two weeks after a single-dose vaccine (such as Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine).

Why does proof of vaccination serve as an alternative to testing?

Vaccinations are an effective method of preventing contraction and transmission of COVID-19. Breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals are rare and vaccinated individuals are less likely to pass on the illness to others if they are infected, according to the CDC.

What kind of tests are accepted for entry?

PCR test results are required for entry into the event. We encourage all attendees to make proper arrangements as it may take several days to receive your results.

Will you offer on-site COVID-19 testing?

No. Onsite testing will not be available.

Am I required to wear a face covering/mask?

Attendees are encouraged to wear a face coverings while in close contact to others. NSC is aligned with CDC guidelines and will base requirements on event location and community risk. Attendees should be prepared to wear a properly fitting face covering, as face coverings may be required if community risk of COVID-19 is “high.”

Is there a COVID-19 risk waiver?

Yes. During the registration process all attendees, exhibitors and speakers must confirm understanding and acknowledge the risk of exposure and contraction of potentially dangerous diseases, including COVID-19, by attending the event. All must also agree to release NSC of any liability related to attendance.
