Travel and Venue Information

COVID INFORMATION
Up-to-date travel guidance is available from Los Angeles County. It is strongly recommended that people continue to wear masks that fit and filter well in all indoor public places. High-efficacy masks (N95, KN95, KF94, or surgical-style masks) were required in plenary and poster sessions, and all other indoor spaces except individual hotel lodging rooms. In order to pick up their meeting badges, attendees had to be able to show proof of vaccination or negative test results within the last 48 hours. Attendees had to also certify they were free from recent close exposure to COVID-19, and free from COVID-19 symptoms.
