COVID-19 Readiness: Safety Guidelines for the 13th Annual CCEC Forum
The California Climate and Energy Collaborative is committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for the 13th Annual California Climate and Energy Forum. After 2 years of virtual events, we are looking forward to meeting in-person in San Diego and are implementing the following guidelines that we hope will make you and your colleagues comfortable and safe.
CCEC Forum COVID Guidelines
We require all attendees to provide one of the following:
- Proof of Vaccination. Currently, the CDC considers individuals to be fully vaccinated: a) two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, or b) two weeks after their single-dose vaccine. Proof of full vaccination must be submitted through the Forum registration form. CCEC will not retain copies of your proof of vaccination. Booster shots are not required at this time, but are highly encouraged due to the fact that attendees will be interacting in close proximity to one another.
- A Negative COVID-19 PCR Test, taken within 72 hours of checking in at the registration desk. Antigen tests will not be accepted. Self-reported negative test results that are not from a test provider, laboratory, or health care provider cannot be accepted. Acceptable test documentation includes: Printed document (from the test provider or laboratory) or an email or text message displayed on a phone or electronic device from the test provider or laboratory. The information provided should include name of person tested, type of test performed, and date of negative test result. A matching photo ID is required.
Additionally,
- Mask Wearing will be Required, except while eating or drinking in designated areas, while presenting, or while outdoors. Hotel staff interacting with attendees will be required to follow local guidance and requested to follow Forum meeting guidelines.
Finally, CCEC asks all participants to adhere to the following safety practices:
- Be a good neighbor. When outside the venue, we ask that attendees take the necessary precautions to ensure they limit their exposure to COVID-19. This includes, but is not limited to: wearing a mask while indoors, social distancing, avoiding crowds, and enjoying meals outdoors.
- Sanitize. Hand sanitizer will be provided at the registration desk, throughout the forum venue, and during meals.
- Protect your peers. If you have COVID symptoms while at the meeting, please remove yourself from the Forum event spaces, isolate, and get tested. Notify event staff at eecoordinator@civicwell.org if you are symptomatic, or if you test positive. We will share information about a positive test with attendees, but will maintain your anonymity.
In the weeks leading up to the event, CCEC will provide attendees with locations where COVID-19 testing and booster shots are available.
These guidelines are currently more stringent than the baseline requirements set by San Diego County, or State and Federal authorities. But in the unlikely event that official requirements become more stringent than these guidelines, we reserve the right to adjust them accordingly.
