Chairs will be in “pods” of varying sizes (you can sit with others you’ve travelled with or are attending with). You may be asked to move seats so we can safely accommodate more attendees and attendees who are fully vaccinated may choose to sit more closely together with other fully vaccinated attendees. Deep cleaning of the space will be performed by the Fairmont as part of their safety plan. Everyone will be required to sign a Covid waiver at check-in, you can preview the waiver here.
