Pandemic Safety

Last updated 9/20/22 - Subject to Change
 

Proof of Vaccination No Longer Required

The health and safety of our attendees is our top priority. As the pandemic continues to recede, the BOMA International Executive Committee has voted to suspend the requirement that BOMA conference attendees must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test.  We are continuing to monitor infection rates across the country, and CDC and local health guidelines. As such, the vaccination/negative test requirement is subject to reinstatement at any time. We will continue to keep attendees informed about any changes to this policy. 

Face coverings are not mandated in Kansas City, MO, and we will not require masks to be worn during the conference, however, we strongly encourage attendees to continue to wear a face covering indoors if you have a weakened immune system, or if you are at increased risk for severe COVID-19 disease due to age or underlying health conditions, or if you are unvaccinated.

All attendees must comply with on-site pandemic protocols and the Code of Conduct.
