Health & Safety Protocols

The safety and health of our attendees and participants at our events is our top priority. We are in contact with local and state officials and continue to monitor and learn from best practices as they are implemented across the events industry to provide the best in class and safest experience possible.

The following regulations, policies and protocols will be continually updated and revised in accordance with ongoing public health information and official guidance from the CDC, New York State Department of Health, and NYC Dept of Health. As new information becomes available, we update this page accordingly.

THE BELOW COVID-19 GUIDELINES WILL BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO AT ALL OUR EVENTS TO MINIMIZE TRANSMISSION RISK TO ALL ATTENDEES, STAFF, AND VOLUNTEERS.
