HEALTH & SAFETY
Your health and safety are paramount for us while planning our upcoming INFLUENCE 2021 in-person experience. NSA is in constant communication with our partners. We are painstakingly following safety measures from federal, state, and local officials while still creating a unique and unmatched opportunity to become a better speaker and build a better business.
While the safety measures are still evolving, here is a shortlist of the safety precautions we're planning for those who join us in Las Vegas:
- Requiring face coverings for all attendees, hotel staff, AV team, NSA staff, and anyone else participating in the event
- Limiting the amount of in-person attendees to 500. This space can typically hold 3,000
- Each room is being configured to provide at least six feet of distance between attendees
- Proper signage to help attendees navigate the conference space along with marked entrance and exit doors
- Scattered breaks and traffic flow to negate large gatherings of attendees
- Daily temperature checks before entering the meeting space
- Anyone who will not follow our safety guidelines will be removed from the event with no refund
While we're excited to offer the option to attend INFLUENCE 2021 in person, we understand that you need to consider your own health as well as the health of your family. If you're not comfortable joining us in person, we highly encourage you to still join us virtually. Our virtual attendees will still get a powerful experience and have ample opportunities to meet with other attendees, our partners, and presenters from the comfort of their own homes.
