COVID Protocols at DGIQ

Updated on October 5, 2022

In reviewing the current COVID-19 guidelines from the CDC, and the specific requirements in place in Washington, D.C., we have made the decision to remove the requirement for proof of vaccination or negative testing in order to attend the DGIQ Conference this December. However, we reserve the right to return to our vaccination/testing policy if conditions change in the coming weeks such that the CDC and/or Washington, D.C. regulations require more stringent measures by the time of the event. 

Having made this policy change, and in accordance with CDC recommendations, DATAVERSITY still recommends that all attendees take measures to manage their own health risks and protect themselves by wearing face coverings (masks) indoors, and being vaccinated with the latest available boosters at least two weeks prior to attending the DGIQ conference.

While we’re no longer requiring proof of vaccination or testing, we will provide the following to help make this a safer event for everyone:

• A list of local testing sites will be provided for anyone hoping to get a PCR test before, during, or after the event.
• If attendees experience any COVID-19 symptoms while on site, they must notify staff immediately and may be asked to test and isolate. 
• Face coverings and hand sanitizers will be readily available.
• Signage will be posted reminding individuals to be mindful of other individuals' personal space. Buttons will be available to indicate your preference for personal space.

The above policies are based upon guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) and public health authorities. Again, if conditions around COVID-19 change such that stricter protocols are required by any health authority with jurisdiction in Washington D.C., then we will notify attendees immediately. 

Before the event, you can find the latest Government, Public Health, travel, and testing guidance at https://coronavirus.dc.gov/healthguidance.

Please email events@dataversity.net with any questions you may have, and we look forward to seeing you in December.
