Mandatory Covid-19 In-Person Meeting Policy
The ABA Board of Governors recently adopted a vaccine policy for in person meetings effective November 1, 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID pandemic, meeting attendees are now required to provide proof of full vaccination as defined by the CDC, or proof of a negative viral COVID test administered by a healthcare professional taken within 3-4 days of the meeting arrival date to attend in person.
The ABA has partnered with CrowdPass, a third-party group, which will enable all attendees to provide easy proof of COVID-related documentation needed to make entry into the meeting faster, safer, and more secure for everyone onsite. All registrants (including sponsors and exhibitors) and guests will be required to prove documentation and will receive an email approximately one- week prior to the meeting with instructions and a link to Crowd Pass
