Onsite Health + Safety
Our community's well-being is extremely important to us, and creating a safe, worry-free event is our top priority. We will adjust our health and safety protocols as needed while updating this page with information about plans for our attendees onsite. We continue to look to local municipality guidelines to make the best and most informed decisions around onsite safety and requirements.

Safety Resources + Tips
Attendee safety is our top priority. Always exercise common sense and good judgment when traveling.
General Safety
When walking around the city, remember to take off your conference badge.
Safety in numbers: Exploring the city is safe, but can be safer when done with a friend or colleague.
Walk with purpose and stick to well-lit areas and main streets.
If alone after dark, use a ride service such as Uber/Rapido. Save the address and phone number of where you're staying in your phone.
Be aware of your surroundings and keep your eyes up and not on your phone.
If something doesn't feel right, walk into a business or hotel for help.
Carry your purse or wallet safely. Purses should be closed and held in front of your body. Wallets should be carried in a front pocket or interior jacket pocket.

Take a moment to identify at least two exit routes from any building or event and emergency exit signs.
If an alarm sounds, evacuate immediately. Follow directions from First Responders and venue staff.
Do not carry any unnecessary valuables with you, or leave personal items unattended.
Do not leave drinks unattended, or accept open drinks or food products from strangers.
Emergency Evacuations
In the event of an emergency evacuation, make your way quickly and calmly to an emergency exit. Be aware of any hazards around you and proceed to a safe area.
Follow the advice of venue staff, security personnel and First Responders.
