As Emerald continues to reunite the industries we serve through the safe and secure reopening of our in-person events, the health and safety of our customers, team members and communities is our #1 priority.
In preparation for the secure reopening of our events, Emerald developed a Preparedness, Prevention and Response plan designed to safely welcome you back to in-person events. This comprehensive approach is fluid as we are constantly reviewing the health and safety guidelines for each in-person event, monitoring changes in COVID-19 protocols and working to ensure all necessary health measures are in place and comply with current state and local government health policies and CDC guidelines.
We are committed to creating event experiences where everyone can safely and effectively conduct business. As such, Emerald’s Preparedness, Prevention and Response plan has been recently updated to reflect the current CDC Guidelines and state and local government health policies specific to COVID-19.
Emerald’s commitment to providing assurance and confidence that our events have your health and safety as our number one priority.
