2022 ASCUE Event Safety During the Pandemic

Updated as of February 11, 2022

As the COVID-19 Global Pandemic continues, ASCUE is both cautiously optimistic and prepared to manage our on-site events with the health, safety, and well-being of our members, presenters, exhibitors, and speakers in mind.

We will continue to monitor and update safety precautions for the ASCUE Conference regularly and follow guidelines in accordance with trusted national resources, state and local public health agencies, Ocean Creek Resort and Conference Center, and off-site event venues.

In all cases, we will continue to assess the risks in the local area and the current status in the United States. There may be some events during which the mask requirement may be waived, but for most cases, these will be the policies and procedures required of our attendees at indoor conference activities and events.

ASCUE reserves the right to modify these policies and procedures at any time given the rapidly changing nature of the current global pandemic.
