RLA Health and Safety Guidelines

RLA has been staying on top of COVID-19 precautions in all aspects of our event planning. Based on what we know today, our RLA 2022 Conf & Expo Las Vegas event will continue to be in-person while providing a safe space for attendees to network and learn best practices in-person.

MASKS:  We are following CDC guidance and requirements set forth by the State of Nevada. Currently masks are required for all guests and employees in all inside public spaces, regardless of vaccination status. Unless guidelines and requirements change, please be prepared to wear a mask during our event. While we encourage you to bring your own masks, we will have masks available at our registration desk if needed.

VACCINATION/TESTING:  With everyone’s safety as a top priority, we will follow the lead of other major conferences where we will be requiring proof of vaccination OR a negative test within 72 hours of the start of our event (4:00pm Pacific Time, on Sunday, February 6, 2022)

Attendees will verify vaccination status or negative testing through CrowdPass, an online verification platform (not an app). The account creation and document submission process should take less than 5 minutes and you can use a mobile device or computer to complete it.

We are in close communication with the Mirage and local Las Vegas authorities who are monitoring operational impacts that might come from the Omicron variant as related to being in-person, but we do not expect our event to be impacted if we continue to abide by the current mandates.

For more details or if you have any questions, please email us at events@rla.org.

Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you in-person in February.

NEGATIVE COVID TESTS

If you don't have a vaccination card, you'll need to upload a negative COVID test result to CrowdPass within 72 hours of the start of our event (4:00pm, Sunday, February 6, 2022).  You can make an appointment now through your doctor or local pharmacy to have the test taken within that window of time.  Please keep in mind, appointment times are often booked several days and sometimes weeks ahead of time, so please plan accordingly and schedule your COVID test as soon as you are able during that 72-hour window to avoid any last-minute needs.  Follow the same directions above, just upload your NEGATIVE COVID test when prompted.  If that doesn't' work, feel free to also send negative Covid test result to CrowdPass' secure portal: secure@crowdpass.co.  Due to the high demand of COVID testing during the Omicron surge, RLA has instructed CrowdPass to also accept negative COVID test results from at home testing kits as of 1/21/2022.
