COVID-19 Protection Policy

As the world continues to make positive strides to end COVID-19, we want to do our part by continuing to aid in the reduction of the spread.

For the health and well being of all attendees, sponsors, speakers, and staff, COVID-19 vaccination is strongly encouraged for all MCOR21 attendees. In order to pick up your MCOR21 badge, you (and your guest, if applicable) will need to show proof of vaccination (physical vaccination card or photo).

Monterey County implemented an Indoor Face Covering Ordinance effective October 29, 2021, which requires everyone within Monterey County to wear face masks when indoors in public areas throughout the city. This includes wearing a mask while in:
  • Common areas in the hotel
  • MCOR21 Registration Desk
  • On the shuttles
  • In public indoor areas during Yamaha Golf Outing, GM/Cadillac Opening Reception & Dinner, and Entegra Strolling Reception & Dinner (except while eating and drinking)
Note:
  • If you are NOT FULLY VACCINATED, you are required to wear a mask at all times in all indoor public areas, during MCOR21 education sessions, and outdoors when in close proximity to others (exempt from this requirement are any individuals who attest with a documented medical condition or disability from their physician that prevents wearing a mask (per current California regulations).

The transportation company requires the shuttle bus drivers and all passengers to wear face masks, as well as bring and use hand sanitizer while traveling in the vehicles. Shuttles will be loaded from back to front; please remember to dispose of your own trash. These rules will be in effect for any trip taken using our transportation service during the entirety of MCOR21.

We recommend that all attendees come prepared with face masks, should local, state, or federal mandates change during the course of the event. N95s are highly recommended due to the transmissibility of the Delta and Lambda variants.

We look forward to meeting in Monterey, CA safely. We want to ensure we keep our attendees and staff safe while still providing a fun and engaging conference experience where our community can reconnect after a long period of separation.

We are monitoring the ongoing developments and policy changes and will follow policies and safety precautions in place at the time of the conference. We are also working closely with the Monterey Plaza Hotel, our sponsors and staff to ensure we provide a safe environment that meets local, state, building, and CDC procedures.
