NextUp COVID-19 Protocols for In-Person Events

At NextUp, the safety and well-being of our community are our top priorities. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees at our events. As the COVID-19 situation evolves, we are continuously reviewing and updating our policies to align with the latest guidance from health authorities. We reserve the right to adjust any previously communicated advisories, protocols, and procedures.

Safety Measures in Place:

  • Hand Sanitizing Stations: We will have hand sanitizing stations readily available throughout the event venue for your convenience.
  • Mask Availability: Masks will be available for all attendees, and we strongly encourage their use, especially when in close physical proximity to others.

Vaccination and Testing (Updated):

Given recent changes to CDC and state COVID-19 policies for events, we strongly recommend that all attendees be fully vaccinated and consider receiving booster shots. However, we will no longer require proof of vaccination, or a negative COVID-19 test to attend NextUp events.

Attendee Responsibilities:

All in-person attendees must agree to the following:

  1. Follow Venue and Government Protocols: I will follow all COVID-19 protocols as directed by the venue and/or local or state government.
  2. Stay Home When Sick: I agree that if I am feeling sick within 48 hours of the event, I will not attend in person.
  3. Reporting Illness: I agree that should I become sick with COVID-19 symptoms while attending a NextUp event, I will inform the event organizer and leave the event immediately.
  4. Indemnification: I indemnify NextUp if I become ill with COVID-19 while attending a NextUp event.

Additional Event Requirements:

Please be aware that there may be additional health and safety requirements specific to the event location. We strongly encourage all guests to carefully review upcoming event details by visiting nextupisnow.org/calendar and selecting the event(s) for which you have purchased or plan to purchase registration.

Stay Informed:

For more information about COVID-19, please refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

We will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates on NextUpisnow.org. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please email us at connect@nextupisnow.org.

Your health and safety are of utmost importance to us. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to create a safe and enjoyable environment for our community.
