REGISTRANT REQUIREMENTS

Crystal Gateway Marriott have implemented a variety of new protocols and elevated practices, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and keeping with high standards of cleanliness and commitment to providing excellent service. Please view their health & safety protocols

As of August 15, 2022, INTA’s health and safety precautions are as follows:

• Vaccination Requirement—We require proof of vaccination at the time of the TMAP Meeting for in-person attendance. To meet this requirement, registrants need to be “fully vaccinated.” To be fully vaccinated:
  • Two weeks or more must have passed since the date the registrant received the second dose of a two-dose series vaccine; or
  • Two weeks or more must have passed since the date the registrant received a single-dose vaccine.

• Registrants are currently not required to have a vaccine booster shot to be considered fully vaccinated. However, it is encouraged where possible.
• Registrants who are unable to or are unwilling to produce proof of fully vaccinated status will be assumed NOT to be fully vaccinated.
• Acceptable Vaccinations—Acceptable international vaccinations include those currently recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO):
  • The Pfizer/BioNTech Comirnaty
  • The SII/COVISHIELD and AstraZeneca/AZD1222 vaccines
  • The Janssen/Ad26.COV 2.S developed by Johnson & Johnson
  • The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA 1273)
  • The Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine
  • The Sinovac-CoronaVac
  • The Bharat Biotech BBV152 COVAXIN vaccine
  • The Covovax (NVX-CoV2373) vaccine
  • The Nuvaxovid (NVX-CoV2373) vaccine
  • CanSinoBIO/Convidecia

• Negative COVID-19 Test—For the peace of mind of all registrants, in addition to the proof of vaccination at the time of the TMAP Meeting, you will be required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result in order to access the event space of the TMAP Meeting to collect your badge. The test must be performed within 48 hours before your badge pick-up.
• To meet this requirement, a negative COVID-19 test result is:
  • an official NEGATIVE (Not Detected) PCR or Rapid-Antigen Test report that shows your bio-sample was collected, and the test was performed within 48-hours of the registrant’s badge pick-up. OR,
  • a picture of a NEGATIVE test result from a home-use self-administered over-the-counter test (self-test kit), and the self-test was performed within 48-hours of the registrant’s badge pick-up. If you plan to self-test, please visit the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s information portal on self-testing.
• Once you collect your badge, you are no longer required to provide a negative COVID-19 test result during the Meeting.
• Onsite testing services will not be available.
• Social Distancing—Social distancing will be determined based on health and safety guidelines in Arlington, VA, and the Crystal Gateway Marriott during the TMAP
• Protective Measures—We are working with the Crystal Gateway Marriott to ensure standard and reasonable protective measures in the TMAP Meeting areas.
• Masks—Mask mandates will be determined based on health and safety guidelines in Arlington, VA, and the Crystal Gateway Marriott at the time of the TMAP Meeting. Currently, masking is optional at the Crystal Gateway Marriott. Given this, INTA is not requiring masking, but we highly recommend that registrants wear them while attending the Meeting.
• Limited Attendance—Capacity limitations in and around the Crystal Gateway Marriott will follow local and facility recommendations and health and safety guidelines during the TMAP Meeting.
• Communications—We will have regular communication with all registrants about health and safety guidelines.

All registrants must adhere to all health and safety guidelines and policies implemented by INTA, our partners, and our hosts throughout the entire TMAP Meeting. Registrants who do not comply with our COVID-19 health and safety precautions will not be permitted to enter or remain on the premises. Under these circumstances, registrants will not be provided with a refund.

HOW TO COMPLY

As noted above, we require proof of vaccination at the time of the TMAP Meeting for in-person attendance.

Registrants will be required to upload their proof of vaccination before the TMAP Meeting through a secure web portal managed by SafeAccess, our third-party vendor. SafeAccess is responsible for verifying proof of vaccination and proof of a negative COVID-19 test. Failure to upload the requested information to SafeAccess’s portal will result in INTA assuming that the registrant is NOT fully vaccinated, and therefore will not be eligible to participate in the in-person TMAP Meeting. Under these circumstances, no refund of registration fees will be provided.

PRIVACY

Registrants understand and acknowledge that our vendor is solely requesting voluntary disclosure of registrants’ vaccinated status and the COVID-19 test results by the above-mentioned requirements. No other additional medical information will be sought. Registrants also understand and acknowledge that the vaccination status and test results of TMAP Meeting registrants will be kept confidential.

We respect your privacy. Therefore, in contracting with our vendor, we will comply with the relevant data privacy regulations. Please see our TMAP Meeting health-related privacy notice below for more details.

ONSITE SUPPORT

If you’re feeling unwell, please see our list of local pharmacies.

If you test positive during the TMAP Meeting, you will not be allowed to return to the TMAP Meeting venue or to participate in other events associated with the TMAP Meeting. You can return to the TMAP Meeting if a subsequent PCR test produces a negative result. Our vendor must verify this negative result.

Registrant Duty to Self-Monitor

Registrants agree to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (symptoms typically include fever, cough, and shortness of breath).

Registrants understand and acknowledge that at every instance they join an in-person event at the TMAP Meeting, they are affirming that they are not experiencing any signs or symptoms of COVID-19.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

All the terms of the in-person TMAP Meeting Policies (unless otherwise specified herein) are incorporated by reference here and shall be deemed to have the same force and effect as outlined in full in this policy.

LIABILITY WAIVER, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS

We have instituted health and safety precautions consistent with the WHO guidance, local governmental agencies, health authorities, and best practices recommended by the Crystal Gateway Marriott, where we will be hosting our TMAP Meeting. In some instances, we have gone above and beyond these guidelines to reduce the risk of exposure to, infection with, and spread of COVID-19 (including its variants).

However, despite our good faith efforts to establish and implement health and safety guidelines to minimize exposure to COVID-19, we cannot guarantee against potential exposure to and spread of COVID-19 at the TMAP Meeting. By voluntarily registering and participating, TMAP Meeting registrants understand, acknowledge, and assume the risk of potential exposure to COVID-19 (including its variants) at the TMAP Meeting.

BY REGISTERING FOR THE TMAP MEETING, YOU ARE RELEASING INTA, ITS STAFF, EXHIBITORS, SPONSORS, VENDOR PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER MEETING REGISTRANTS FROM ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, COSTS, OR LIABILITIES (COLLECTIVELY “CLAIMS”) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR VACCINATION VERIFICATION PROCESS, USE OF ANY SPONSORED ITEMS OR GIVEAWAYS BY EXHIBITORS/SPONSORS, PARTICIPATION, ATTENDANCE OR OTHER INVOLVEMENT WITH OUR TMAP MEETING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO EXPOSURE TO, INFECTION WITH, OR SPREAD OF COVID-19 (INCLUDING ITS VARIANTS).
