To that end, a COVID mitigation plan has been developed for all upcoming academies and conferences. Therefore, all attendees are required to submit proof of vaccination to register and attend the event (for those with a medical exemption, we will work with each individual independently, which may include requiring a negative COVID test). In addition, we will also be requiring everyone to wear a mask while indoors at the event except for those times when you are eating or drinking.
