Health & Safety Policies
NAADAC remains fully committed to holding a successful in-person meeting and is working closely with the JW Marriott Indianapolis and vendor partners to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all attendees. NAADAC’s priority is always the health and well-being of our community, so we are working to implement thorough safety protocols to meet or exceed the recommendations from the CDC, as well as industry standards, federal, state, and local guidelines, and the hotel’s guidelines. NAADAC reserves the right to update or otherwise modify these requirements at any time as we deem prudent to best protect the health and safety of attendees, staff, and others.
Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination or Negative COVID-19 RT-PCR Test Required: NAADAC encourages all attendees, exhibitors, guests, volunteers, and staff to be fully vaccinated (as defined by the CDC). NAADAC will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR Test administered by a third party within 72 hours of arriving at the conference to be uploaded to the ShareMy.Health verification site prior to the conference. All participants must be cleared by ShareMy.Health to gain access to the conference. Upon arrive at the conference, participants will need to show they have been cleared before than can proceed to registration. If vaccinated, we highly recommend bringing your vaccination card to the conference.
Masks Recommended: At this time, based on current CDC recommendations, well-fitting masks are strongly recommended, but not required in all NAADAC conference spaces. These include, but are not limited to, meeting rooms, the exhibit halls, the registration area, the bookstore, the main foyer, and all hallways connecting the various conference spaces.
Social Distancing & Capacity Limits: Seating during sessions and meals will be appropriately spaced according to CDC guidelines and capacity limits. Attendees are also asked to appropriately distance during exhibit hall hours and networking activities.
Before the Event: Follow relevant guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and your local health authority. Adhere to government-issued travel restrictions and guidance issued by the region you will be traveling to and the region you are traveling from. Evaluate your own health and that of people you are in close contact with. Stay home if you feel sick or exhibit any of the symptoms of COVID-19. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 at the conference, register for a test at a community site. Any cancellations due to a positive COVID-19 test or exposure to COVID-19 will be refunded in full up until the day of the event, pending documentation and notification is provided.
COVID-19 Contact Tracing: Based on current contact tracing advice from health authorities, if you test positive for COVID-19 up to 14 days after returning home, please notify NAADAC at [email protected]. NAADAC will keep attendees informed if a potential exposure has been had at the conference.
Individual Accountability: NAADAC has preventative measures in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19. NAADAC cannot, however, guarantee that attendees will not get COVID-19.
By submitting an attendee registration for #NAADAC2022, attendees must acknowledge and agree that they are fully responsible for their own safety and actions while participating in the national conference and recognize that they may be at risk of contracting COVID-19 through no fault of NAADAC.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19, are waiting for COVID-19 test results, have COVID-19 symptoms, or have had close contact with a person who has tested positive for or who has symptoms of COVID-19, please stay home. Any cancellations due to a positive COVID-19 test or exposure to COVID-19 will be refunded in full up until the day of the event, pending documentation and notification is provided.
