Here are some answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about safety and the COVID-19 pandemic. If you still have a question please reach out to us at [email protected]
Do I have to be fully vaccinated to attend LabMan 2023?
While attendees and sponsors are not required to be fully vaccinated right now (as of October 2022), we very strongly recommend that you get vaccinated (or if you're already vaccinated then to get a booster) and do so at least 2 weeks before the conference. We also very strongly recommend you check with your own organization for policies pertaining to vaccination status while traveling as well as your local and state health organizations around guidance and requirements for your respective area before traveling.
Do I have to wear a mask or face covering while attending LabMan 2023?
Currently, the Delta Richmond Hotel does not require individuals to wear masks or other face coverings on-campus either outdoors or indoors. If participants prefer to wear a mask or face covering, they may do so at their own discretion without fear of repercussion.
Will the LabMan 2023 conference require or promote physical/social distancing?
Now that vaccines and boosters are widely available, we will no longer be using physical/social distancing as a safety measure. We encourage participants to engage with others at their own level of comfort.
Will I be provided hand sanitizer, a mask or face covering, or other personal protective equipment?
ALL participants of LabMan 2023 will be automatically provided with hand sanitizer, a mask or face covering, as well as hand wipes.
What if I am not feeling well? Can I still attend?
If you begin exhibiting ANY symptoms consistent with COVID-19, you will NOT be permitted to attend and will be asked to quarantine in your hotel room or at your home.
This policy is unlikely to change given the continual resurgences of COVID-19 infections we've observed over time.
If you are sick or you are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, you MUST refrain from attending the conference. To carry over or receive a prorated refund of your registration fee, you will need to notify us if you are unable to attend due to illness by emailing [email protected]
If I've tested positive for COVID-19 or any of it's variants can I still attend?
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or any of it's variants within 5 days of the conference beginning (May 23rd, 2023) you may not attend the conference.
This policy is unlikely to change given the continual resurgences of COVID-19 infections we've observed over time.
