As we mentioned in our previous email regarding health and safety at the 2021 ACRA conference, we are continually monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise of the Delta variant. The safety of our attendees is our TOP priority for this event, and as such, we wanted to share some updated guidelines with you.

Attendees of the 2021 ACRA Conference are now required to be fully vaccinated. Proof of vaccination must be provided at the conference check-in table and can be in the form of your physical vaccination card, a clear photo of the card, or a state-provided digital pass. Attendees will also be required to wear masks in ACRA events. These new guidelines are in addition to those we previously sent earlier this month, which have been updated with the new information here.

Some of you have asked about the potential for postponement of the conference, and we want to assure you that this option was fully explored with the venue. Unfortunately, based on current state policies, postponement/cancellation is not financially possible for ACRA. While this revelation is frustrating, especially since the decision to move forward with an in-person conference was made before the Delta variant emerged as a threat in the US, we are confident that we will be able to have as safe a conference as possible with the addition of these new guidelines.

We will also be reinstating the early bird pricing for the remainder of the conference registration. Note: if you paid the full non-early bird price, feel free to contact us for a refund of the difference.

We will continue to monitor and work with the hotel on this evolving situation and will be posting additional conference-specific guidelines as they arise. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
