COVID-19 Safety Plan from AFCEA International (Current as of October 12, 2021)

Facial Coverings and Vaccinations Required

AFCEA is committed to holding a rewarding 2021 TechNet Cyber at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD, October 27-28, 2021. Our COVID-19 Safety Plan is a living document that will continue to evolve as we follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and work closely with the Baltimore Convention Center, vendors, overflow hotels, and other properties to create a safer experience for participants.

FAQ

  Will participants be required to wear masks?

Yes, the Baltimore Convention Center requires all visitors to wear a mask indoors regardless of vaccination status. Masks are always required, except when actively eating and drinking or presenting from the stage. Please bring your own facial covering. A limited supply will be available at main registration.

  Will proof of vaccination be required?

Yes. Proof of full vaccination will be required to attend the in-person event at the Baltimore Convention Center. In consultation with our DoD partners and given the recent trends in COVID-19 transmission levels in the region, we have determined it is in the best interest of all participants that only vaccinated people attend. Therefore, each attendee must pick up their own badge. Badges will not be distributed without proof of vaccination.

  How will proof of vaccination be verified?

Participants will show proof of vaccination onsite during the normal badge pick-up process. Please have your government issued photo ID and physical copy of your vaccine card ready. A picture on your mobile device or proof of vaccination via an app is also acceptable.

  What qualifies as full vaccination?

Individuals must have received the second dose of a two-dose vaccine series (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca-SK Bio) or a single-dose vaccine from Johnson & Johnson/Janssen at least two weeks prior to the event. Only the vaccines noted above, which have been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), shall be acceptable to meet the vaccination requirement.

  Will the conference content be available virtually?

Yes, we will post approved conference sessions to AFCEA’s YouTube Channel. Plenary sessions held in Hall E will be streamed live, when possible. Additional program sessions will be recorded and posted within a week of the conference dates. Following the conference, archived content can be conveniently accessed on the AFCEA event archive website. We will not have a fully, interactive virtual program like you saw in December 2020.

  What can I expect at the venue?

The Baltimore Convention Center has achieved Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC) STAR™ accreditation, the gold standard for prepared facilities. The convention center will increase sanitization of high contact surfaces and traffic areas. Additional information on protocols for cleaning, sanitation and air filtration at the venue is available here.

  Are there restrictions on the number of people in the exhibit hall, in session rooms or at networking events?

The Baltimore Convention Center does not have and capacity limits in place currently. Social distancing is highly encouraged. We will space out the seating at all activities, where possible.

  Will AFCEA conduct temperature screening?

No, AFCEA will not conduct daily temperature screens. The CDC recommends conducting self-health checks for symptoms daily, and in accordance with any applicable privacy laws and regulations. Participants are asked to stay home, or in their hotel room, if they do not feel well or have any of the following symptoms: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.

By attending AFCEA’s 2021 TechNet Cyber Conference, you agree to abide by and engage in conduct that is beneficial to health and safety. This includes, but is not limited to, complying with local, state and venue regulations, wearing a facial covering in conference facilities, engaging in appropriate physical distancing, and not attending if you are not fully vaccinated or are experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms.
