Southeast Regional Fruit & Vegetable Conference COVID-19 Policies and Procedures

Registration

  • The registration kiosk layout has been redesigned to allow for more spacing between attendees checking in, as this is one of the main places that experience the most congestion.
  • Pre-registered attendees will be checked in and their information verified on an iPad by registration personnel to reduce touchpoints.
  • Onsite registrations and payments will be entered into iPads by registration personnel to reduce touchpoints.
  • Upon arrival when checking in or registering, there will be a COVID-19 waiver that all attendees must attest to. This would include responding to statements such as not testing positive for COVID-19 in the past 14 days, not knowingly being exposed in the past 5 days, and certifying that they are exhibiting no symptoms.

Education

  • The educational rooms will be set with added space between rows as well as aisles on the sides of each room allowing attendees to stand separated if they choose.
  • Pesticide CEU credits that have previously been a manual paper process will now be administered with handheld scanners to reduce touchpoints.

Food and Beverage Services

  • Access to the pre-registered lunches will be verified by badges with handheld scanners rather than the previously used physical tickets.
  • The food and beverage buffet service is being modified to be a cafeteria-style service with individual drink containers (bottled water/tea, canned soda) to reduce touchpoints for attendees.
  • Ballroom seating capacity is being reduced by 30% to allow for more social distancing.

Other Precautions

  • Face masks will be highly recommended and available throughout the convention center at registration, in education rooms and on the tradeshow floor.
  • Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the convention center at various stations.
  • The conference program and all other information will be available through a mobile app for those who do not wish to pick up a physical program.
