• Everyone attending must be vaccinated and must upload their vaccination information to the HealthShield app provided. (Boosters are not required but are strongly recommended, per the CDC.)
• Although ABA is requiring vaccinations for attendees, others at the resort may not be vaccinated including hotel employees; hotels cannot require their employees to be vaccinated.
• Attendees are requested to test within 24 hours before they depart home for the event so they can stay home if they test positive. ABA will reimburse registration fees in these instances.
• Attendees are strongly encouraged to wear masks while attending the event, but masks are not required. Attendees are required to wear masks in settings where more than one person is sharing a computer screen, like IndieCommerce one-on-ones. ABA will have masks available at the event, while supplies last. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own masks as well.
• Frequent hand washing and/or sanitizing is strongly recommended. ABA will have hand sanitizer available at the event, while supplies last. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own hand sanitizer as well.
• Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring at-home COVID tests to test themselves as needed during the event. Free tests may be available through attendees’ insurance or through USPS.
• If an attendee tests positive during the event, ABA asks that they refrain from attending the remainder of the event.
• If an attendee is notified during the event that a close contact has tested positive, they are encouraged to test and engage in CDC recommended protocols.
• All attendees will be able to choose from different colored lanyards to attach to your badge, which will indicate your comfort level with others approaching you. Please check the color of people’s lanyards.
  • GREEN = handshakes/fist bumps welcome
  • YELLOW = elbow bumps and a little space appreciated
  • RED = no handshakes and lots of space please

Since vaccinations are required, we cannot allow unvaccinated children to accompany attendees at any Ci10 event.

As we all know, COVID is part of our lives now and the risk of contracting COVID is always a possibility. The experience at similar large events recently indicates that it is likely that someone at every large event has COVID. With this in mind, attendees will not be required to notify ABA if they test positive once the event has begun, nor will ABA be notifying everyone in attendance if anyone tests positive. Attendees should take precautions, as outlined above, and if they have greater concerns we understand that they may choose to not attend.

We’re all figuring this out as we go and doing the best we can. We ask that everyone prioritize both Safety and Kindness.

We appreciate your help to keep everyone as safe as possible. Failure to abide by these policies will result in removal from this event and you will be banned from attending any future ABA conference.
