In response to any ongoing pandemic conditions in the U.S., our events team will be working closely with federal, state, and local guidelines, venue protocols, and other measures to help ensure everyone’s safety regarding the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The following policies and procedures are based on current information. As the situation and available information changes, all are subject to change.
Vaccination Status
Information Today, Inc. requires that all attendees are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and they will need to answer a question during the online registration process confirming their vaccination status.

Please visit the CDC site for what it means to be fully vaccinated.
Vaccination cards are recommended to confirm vaccine status but will not be required to enter the event.

In addition, we will be working with the venue to optimize how food and beverage services will be provided to minimize exposure/risk.
