Enhanced Health & Safety Protocols
Conduct business, effectively, safely and with confidence following best practice standards and guidelines.
Safety Standards
Health & Safety are a top priority at DesignCon, hosted and managed by Informa Markets—Engineering. Informa has collaborated with association partners, peers, venues, suppliers, contractors and health, government, and local authorities to develop industry-wide All Secure standards that raise the bar on safe, hygienic, productive, and high-quality organized event experiences.
DesignCon continues to prioritize the health and safety of all guests (attendees, exhibitors, speakers, and other pass types) by adhering to state and local government guidance on large-scale indoor events.
Read on for additional DesignCon’s Health & Safety actions that aim to create a safe and successful event. As needs around Health & Safety evolve, this page will be updated to reflect current requirements. We appreciate your patience as we adapt our policies to meet expert guidance and keep our visitors, partners, and staff safe.
Space to Innovate
- While social distancing measures are not currently required by the state or venue, for personal comfort, chairs in educational rooms and theaters, as well as eating areas, will be set approximately 3-feet apart.
- Directional signage and floor markers will keep traffic flowing smoothly to avoid congestion or areas that could lead to close contact.
- Conference and complimentary educational session areas will have increased cleaning protocols.
- Outdoor spaces will be available for impromptu small group conversations and networking, complimenting available indoor spaces.
Clean with Care
- Regular disinfecting will occur to sanitize all seating, restrooms, and frequently touched public areas.
- Medical personnel will be onsite and available to help individuals who are feeling unwell.
- High touch points will be cleaned often throughout the day and between each session in meeting rooms.
- Electrostatic sprayers will clean the full expo floor before move-in and are part of the cleaning regimen inside convention center meeting rooms and in hallways.
- Sanitizing wipes will be available in every conference and sponsored session room for speaker use.
- Audio visual equipment such as microphones, keyboards, and laser pointers will be cleaned between each session.
- Hand sanitizing stations will be readily available throughout the venue.
- Food & Beverage will be located in specific areas that will be cleaned often.
