The health and safety of our attendees and ARDA team members are of utmost importance to us. All attendees for the ARDA Fall Conference must either be fully vaccinated or provide a negative, FDA approved PCR COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event. Attendees will not be able to participate in the Fall Conference without one of these items. In the coming weeks, ARDA’s partner company will be in direct contact with each attendee to provide details on how to upload your vaccine card or negative PCR Test. Your privacy is important to us, and ARDA will never have access to the collected data. Once your vaccine card or negative PCR COVID-19 test has been approved, you will be provided with a QR code to be shown at the ARDA registration desk that will allow you access to the meeting. 

In addition, face masks will be required, per the latest mandate by the government of the District of Columbia.
