Safe & Secure Update: Proof of Vaccination or Negative Test Result Required for Entry In response to the evolving Covid situation, Breakbulk Americas will require all attendees, exhibitors and sponsors, staff, contractors and vendors at the event to either show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test to protect the health of all participants. Proof of Vaccination Please bring your CDC issued COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card. It can be the original paper card, a paper copy, a photo stored on your phone or in an app, such as Clear or one provided by your state. Negative Test Alternatively, you may supply a negative COVID test that was taken within 72 hours. We encourage you to be prepared for this requirement prior to coming to the show. If you do not have either of these documents, there will be testing available nearby that you can acquire at your cost. What to expect at registration We are working on the logistics of these new requirements, and we will share additional details as we move closer to the event. Here’s what we know today: Your first stop will be at the screening station where your vaccine or test record will be checked. Note that the entrance doors to the building have thermal sensors for temperature checks. Once approved, you will proceed to registration. We urge you to print your badge before arrival in line with our contactless checkin program. You will receive a QR code with instructions in mid-September. You will pick up your lanyard and badge holder, and then be scanned as you enter the exhibition hall. There will be a limited number of printing stations for those that need to print their badges. Masks The CDC recommends masks be worn inside at public locations. Further guidance on masks will be released closer to the event. Hand Sanitizer & Cleaning Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the event space. We have contracted for additional cleaning between conference sessions and the venue provides rigorous cleaning on all high-touch surfaces and in high-traffic areas. Social Distancing The Main Stage, other content areas and the catering area and lounges will be set up with social distancing in mind and monitored to avoid overcrowding. Speakers Speakers participating in the Main Stage conference sessions and in Education Day do not have to wear masks while on the stage. Please check back for updates We will be sending further updates by email to registrants, posting to the Breakbulk Americas website, including in the Americas MEET app and posting to our Breakbulk Events & Media Linkedin page. We will keep the Americas Safe & Secure policy page up to date and invite you to check for updates. Our pledge to you As we all know, safety requirements and recommendations are in a state of flux as information emerges. We are in constant contact with local officials and can say with certainty that the safety of all involved in Breakbulk Americas is our priority and shared by Visit Houston and city officials.
