COVID-19 Protocols:

 To ensure, to the extent feasible, the health and welfare of conference attendees, we are taking the following precautions and thank you in advance your cooperation and assistance in keeping everyone healthy:

o   All conference attendees will be required to comply with all applicable Federal, state and local guidance regarding COVID-19 protocols in effect at the time of the conference. Currently, CDC guidelines states that fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear masks and unvaccinated individuals are required to wear masks at all times. Given that guidance continues to evolve, conference organizers reserve the right to amend the conference COVID-19 protocols to comply with changing guidance.

o   Due to the close nature of being on a boat, for those attendees participating in on-the-water sessions some instructors/boat owners may require proof of vaccination from attendees and/or require masking regardless of vaccination status.

o   To increase safety, we have also limited attendance and intend to utilize outdoor spaces as much as possible (weather permitting).  Please plan to spend the majority of your time at the conference outside, including wearing appropriate clothing and bringing a refillable water bottle.
