COVID-19 Protocols.
Your Safety Is Our #1 priority.

As always, the health, safety, and well-being of our community is our top priority. Consequently, we implement and maintain policies and procedures for our live events that are intended to reduce the risk of viral infection for our guests as well as our staff and that acknowledge the most up to date guidance from the established healthcare community, including the CDC. While our conference will not require you to wear a mask, All guests are required to present proof of either (i) full, up-to-date vaccination against COVID-19 (which includes the receipt of all recommended booster doses); or (ii) a negative nucleic acid amplification COVID-19 test, which includes PCR among other tests (click here for more information), taken no more than three (3) days prior to the start of the event. Presentation of a photo ID matching the applicable vaccination or negative test documentation is required for all event attendees. Please note that antigen tests, including all home or other rapid tests, are not acceptable proof of negative testing. PCR test are readily accessible via your local pharmacy.

In the event you arrive at an event without the requisite proof of vaccination or negative test results, you will not be allowed to participate in the event in any capacity and no refund or credit will be provided to you.

Please note that all  staff working at our events as well as talent appearing at events are required to be up-to-date with respect to their COVID-19 vaccination status. We remain committed to creating a safe environment for guests that interact with staff, as well as for staff that are in close quarters together, and believe these more stringent requirements for event staff is an important component to achieving that aim.

If providing proof of up-to-date vaccination

Upon on-site event check-in, event attendees providing proof of vaccination must present an original vaccination card or a printed copy of the vaccination card, along with an appropriate photo ID matching the name displayed on the card. Vaccination cards must show receipt of (i) all doses of the applicable vaccine no less than two (2) weeks prior to the start of the relevant event and (ii) all boosters (received at any time prior to the event) with respect to which the attendee is eligible, in order for vaccination to be considered up-to-date.

If providing proof of negative COVID-19 test results

Upon on-site event check-in, event attendees providing proof of negative COVID-19 test results must present a negative test record (in the form of an email or printed lab result from an identifiable, certified lab) that clearly shows the name of the tested attendee, the type of test performed, the date of the test which must be no more than three (3) days prior to check-in, and the negative test result, along with an appropriate photo ID matching the name displayed on the test record. Please remember that only negative nucleic acid amplification COVID-19 tests are acceptable – antigen tests, including all home or other rapid tests, are not acceptable proof of negative testing.

Upon your arrival we will be implementing the following procedures:

• Verification of up-to-date vaccination status (including applicable boosters) OR approved negative COVID-19 test results

• Guest execution of COVID-19 waiver with attestation to statements pertaining to absence of COVID-19 symptoms and risk factors

Suggested PCR testing services include:

• Target | CVS COVID Testing

• Walgreens COVID Testing

• LabCorp COVID Testing

Frequently Asked Questions

What are you basing your policies on?

Accordingly, under the guidance of our Chief Medical Officer, we stay current on all of the medical literature and scientific discussions regarding COVID-19. Using CDC guidelines, along with advice from a range of medical experts in the field of immunology and public health, recommendations are made on company policies with the goal of reducing the risk of viral infection for our event guests as well as our staff while at the same time welcoming our global community to the transformative experiences provided at our events.

How will I provide my proof of up-to-date vaccination status or negative COVID-19 test results in order to attend my  retreat?

• If vaccinated, event attendees are required to provide documentation of vaccination at the time of on-site event check-in in the form of an original vaccination card or a printed copy of such vaccination card, along with an appropriate photo ID matching the name displayed on the card. Vaccination cards must show receipt of (i) all doses of the applicable vaccine no less than two (2) weeks prior to the start of the relevant event and (ii) all boosters (received at any time prior to the event) with respect to which the attendee is eligible, in order for vaccination to be considered up-to-date.

• If providing negative test results, event attendees are required to provide a negative test record (in the form of an email or printed lab result from an identifiable, certified lab) at the time of on-site event check-in that clearly shows the name of the tested attendee, the type of test performed, the date of the test which must be no later than three (3) days prior to check-in, and the negative test result, along with an appropriate photo ID matching the name displayed on the test record. Please remember that only negative nucleic acid amplification COVID-19 tests are acceptable – antigen tests, including all home or other rapid tests, are not acceptable proof of negative testing.

I was vaccinated but can't find my card. What should I do?

• You can get easily get a PCR test Or If you did not receive a vaccination card or you lost it, you should first contact your vaccination provider. If you are unsuccessful in obtaining proof of vaccination from your vaccination provider, you should reach out to your state health department’s immunization information system (IIS). All vaccination providers must report COVID-19 vaccinations to the applicable IIS. You can find state IIS information on the CDC website. State health departments will either email or mail a copy of your vaccination card, although it may take several weeks for you to receive it.

What is meant by "up-to-date vaccination" or "fully vaccinated?"

• Per CDC definitions, a person is "fully vaccinated" two (2) weeks following their receipt of a primary series of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. A person is considered "up-to-date" on vaccination if they have additionally received all recommended booster doses with respect to which they are eligible. To attend a event you must have up-to-date vaccination status or provide negative results from a nucleic acid amplification COVID-19 test, which includes PCR among other tests (see here for more information).

Can I just wear a mask instead of showing proof of a vacation or a negative test result.

• No, we need to ensure a safe environment for all of our guest.

I already had COVID-19 so chose to not receive vaccination. Would I still need to get vaccinated or present a negative test to attend a  retreat?

• Data continues to emerge, however at this time it has been shown that individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection can still become reinfected with the virus. And although previous infection does provide some protection against reinfection, the presence of antibody in the blood does not predict the level of immunity. It remains uncertain to what degree and for how long individuals with antibodies are protected against re-infection with SARS-CoV-2, or what concentration of antibodies may be needed to provide such protection or prevent transmission. In addition, after initial infection, the chance of reinfection goes down considerably if vaccinated. Accordingly, unvaccinated individuals with a history of previous infection require a negative test to attend events.

Why are you requiring the nucleic acid amplification tests and not the antigen tests?

• Laboratory-based NAATs are considered the most sensitive tests for detecting SARS-CoV-2. Antigen tests generally have lower sensitivity than NAAT tests, especially in asymptomatic people, therefore are more likely to show false negative results.
