Health & Safety
ASIS does not require proof of vaccination status or a negative test result to attend an ASIS in-person meeting or event. Wearing a mask at ASIS meetings and events is encouraged but will be optional.
Instead, ASIS expects attendees to take responsibility themselves for following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and to protect against severe complications. ASIS urges all members to follow the CDC’s recommendation that everyone aged 5 years and older should get one dose of an updated COVID-19 vaccine to protect against serious illness from COVID-19. None of the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines is preferred over another. For more information, please review the guidelines at: cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html
Attendees who are not up to date on vaccinations are asked to take an at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen test before traveling to any ASIS meeting and should not attend if they test positive or have symptoms of COVID-19. ASIS will not be requiring proof of these measures, however, but calls on the ASIS community to act responsibly and with consideration for the health and safety of others.
If you need a COVID-19 test while attending GSX 2024, please find a testing site available in Orlando. Please consult with your physician to determine appropriate next steps. ASIS encourages all individuals to follow applicable guidance from their care providers and relevant public health authorities.
ASIS cannot be held liable for COVID-19 cases arising because of event attendance and will continue to require all attendees to sign a Participant Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability upon registering for any ASIS in-person meeting or event.
ASIS’ policy is subject to change based on COVID-19 community levels and any updated guidance from CDC and/or federal or state officials in localities hosting an ASIS in-person meeting or event. Guidance on COVID-19 is continually updated, and ASIS appreciates the understanding of its stakeholders as we seek to provide valuable, timely face-to-face programming while prioritizing the health and safety of attendees.
