COVID Protocols and FAQs

We value you and encourage everyone attending the conference to make the group’s health a priority. Please consider your own health and comfort with the information below when deciding to attend. Select sessions will be recorded and made available to all customers after the event regardless of whether they attended the conference.

We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation including US federal and CDC guidance, state and local laws, and guidance from the hotel property for changes and additional requirements. Appriss Retail reserves the right to amend this COVID-19 Event Policy in any way and at any time.

By registering for and/or attending the conference, you (i) acknowledge that there is an inherent risk of exposure to communicable disease, including, but not limited to, COVID-19, in any public place where people are present, (ii) freely and voluntarily assume any and all risks related to such exposure, (iii) agree to follow all such guidance and laws, as well as any health and safety instructions, guidelines, or standards for the conference which may be posted on-site or otherwise provided to you by Appriss Retail, and (iv) release Appriss Retail from any and all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorney fees) which are related to, arise from or out of, or are in any way connected to such exposure or enforcement of such instructions, guidelines, or standards, whether or not such claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by the negligence of Appriss Retail.  

What steps is the hotel taking and what are their requirements?

The Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek has implemented these cleaning and behavior protocols.

Is a COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test required?

Yes. Attendees must show their photo ID and proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test when they pick up their badges. (Documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days can be substituted for a negative COVID-19 test result.) Physical vaccination cards and IDs, photos of vaccination cards and IDs, and apps showing these items are all acceptable. Test results must be validated by testing site or an at-home test validation agency. The test cannot be both self-administered and self-reported.

If you are unable to be either vaccinated or tested, please reach out to the customer success team for possible accommodation.

The Orlando, FL city website lists current testing sites. Onsite testing is not available.

Are face coverings required at the event?

The nature of conferences makes continuous social distancing impractical. Therefore, we request that you wear a mask while in our indoor conference areas unless you are eating or drinking. Masks are encouraged in other areas of the hotel.

Please respect that some people are uncomfortable with person-to-person contact since this is a known source for disease spread.

If I am sick and cannot attend, can I get a refund?

Any costs charged by Appriss Retail will be refunded. We will not be responsible for any expenses, damages, or losses from other sources, including the hotel or transportation. 

What civil requirements are in place?

These pages contain current CDC advisories for domestic travelers and international travelers. You can follow this link for general CDC updates. The Florida Department of Health offers these general recommendations and information. The city of Orlando’s most recent advisories are posted here.

Attendees visiting from abroad should consider both U.S. Department of State and their home country’s requirements related to travel prior to making arrangements. Also check with your hotel to ensure you meet their current requirements.
