All attendees at SEJ’s annual conference must be up-to-date on their vaccinations and boosters as defined by the CDC and must attest to that fact. If they are unable to be vaccinated for medical or religious reasons, they must have a negative PCR test result within 72 hours of the event or a negative antigen test 24 hours before. Anyone experiencing symptoms should take a rapid antigen test and get a negative result before joining the event. If you are feeling unwell or experiencing any symptoms of COVID, we strongly encourage you to avoid attending the event or wear a mask. SEJ will continue to provide masks for those in need. We also ask that attendees at our events agree to test for COVID if symptomatic and disclose the results to SEJ (sej@sej.org). If SEJ becomes aware that an attendee of an event tests positive for COVID, it will disclose to attendees via an email to all attendees — with full respect to privacy — that a positive case has been detected.
These requirements are subject to change based on public health requirements at the time and place of event. SEJ is adopting this policy to safeguard the health of its employees and their families; SEJ members and visitors; and the community at large. This policy will comply with all applicable laws and is based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health authorities, as applicable.
SEJ is not and will not be responsible for any expenses, damages or losses resulting from the enforcement of these COVID-19 protocols. Any attendee who fails to abide by SEJ's COVID-19 protocols will not have their fee refunded.
