COVID Statement
Given the challenges of the COVID -19 global pandemic and worldwide travel, it will be possible for overseas participants to participate virtually, if they are not able to travel to the U.S. These people will be able to present, as well as be an ‘active’ audience participant for other presentations via zoom technology. At this time, we are asking all North American participants to plan to attend in-person.
Safety precautions will be followed in order to assure as safe a World Congress as possible. All in-person participants will be required to be fully vaccinated and show proof of this upon registering on-site. Social distancing will be required, and masks will be highly recommended except when participants are presenting. The Hilton Hotel where the event will be held is committed to extra cleaning protocols to help keep all their guests safe. The county that San Antonio resides in has some of the highest vaccination rates in the entire U.S. and will have more than 95% of its eligible residents fully vaccinated by the time of this event in July 2022. It is the utmost priority of the local organizing committee to make this the safest possible on-site event.
