Health & Safety Policy 24–25 Navigating the Exhibit Hall
HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY
NCTE takes the health and safety of its personnel and all guests at events very seriously. In light of ongoing concerns regarding COVID and communicable health risks more generally, NCTE is requiring all attendees to be fully Vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend the 2022 NCTE Annual Convention. Prior to the event
you will be asked to submit proof of vaccination using Crowdpass digital health-clearance program.
In addition to the vaccine verification, NCTE may implement additional appropriate health and safety protocols in light of the public health circumstances existing at the time of each NCTE event. NCTE will follow protocols that comply with any then-applicable local public health requirements and are consistent with then-prevailing public health standards as issued by the CDC (or other relevant public health authorities). Those protocols may include some or all of the following: self-monitoring, symptom screening, contact tracing, use of face coverings, social distancing, or other safety measures. Additional or enhanced measures may apply to certain events or activities in light of the particular circumstances and risks. Compliance with the protocols adopted by NCTE may be mandatory for in-person attendance and participation at the event. Additional information regarding the specific health and safety measures, and any necessary consents by you, will be communicated to Attendees before the event.
After patiently, eagerly waiting for the opportunity to meet in person once again, we are all working together to make this a rewarding, enjoyable, and safe event. Accordingly, you agree that you will not attend the event if within ten (10) days preceding the event, you have tested positive or been diagnosed with COVID or other communicable disease; or experienced any new or unexplained symptoms commonly associated with COVID or other communicable disease. Further, you understand and agree that NCTE may share any COVID-related information about you that NCTE receives as part of such health and safety protocols with public health authorities or other regulatory agencies, as required by applicable law.
Updates will be posted to our Events Policy web page at convention.ncte.org/ncte-policies/

NAVIGATING THE EXHIBIT HALL
The NCTE Exhibit Hall is filled with the latest and greatest books and other classroom resources. You’ll have the chance to pick up advance reading copies (ARCs) and get books signed by your students’ favorite authors. You can talk with publishers about what’s new for the classroom and pick up texts to share with colleagues. Our attendees find all kinds of neat ways to bring the treasures they find in the Exhibit Hall back to their classrooms.
NEW: The Exhibit Hall will be open from 4:45 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. on Friday evening so you can find a time to visit that doesn’t conflict with the sessions you want to attend.
The Convention Program and Convention App will both include maps of the Exhibit Hall for maximum planning efficiency. Watch for the Meet the Authors booklet to find out when your favorite authors will be appearing, and be sure to stop by the Build Your Stack® (learn more on p. 22) area to learn from your peers about the best books for your classroom.
TIPS FOR VISITING THE EXHIBIT HALL
Plan your trip in advance. If you want to get a book signed by a popular author, the line may be long, so you’ll either want to arrive early or plan to stay for some time.
Pack your travel bag inside a larger bag so you will have one empty bag for carting home books. There will be a shipping station in the hall to make it easy to box up your finds and send them home.
You can get access to all kinds of freebies, drawings, and other opportunities if you choose to join mailing lists for vendors on the floor.
Your badge will have a QR code on the back that can be easily scanned to add your information to giveaway lists.
Talk to the publishers on the floor about what
texts they’re excited about. Some will be sharing copies of books that aren’t even out yet. Others may put a previously unknown treasure in your hands.

ABOUT THE SPECIAL ISSUES SERIES
Teachers and students across the country are grappling with several important issues. Almost daily, we hear from educators who are looking for practical and engaging approaches to racial literacy, critical media literacy, and trauma-informed teaching.
