2023 MEETING

 46th Annual RSA Scientific Meeting
 

June 24-28, 2023
Bellevue, Washington
 

RSA-2023 Meeting COVID-19 Vaccination Policy (updated)
 

Attendees/Guests of the RSA-2023 meeting must be fully vaccinated and are required* to upload their vaccination card (PDF) when they register. 

*Exemptions (medical, religious, philosophical, and/or personal reasons) will be granted. Contact Debby Sharp (debbyrsa@sbcglobal.net) to request the form for uploading during the registration process.
 
Masking
Masks are highly recommended in all RSA-2023 Meeting space (i.e., meeting rooms, poster room, registration area, events space). RSA will have a supply of masks at the RSA Registration Desk and throughout the meeting space; we do request you bring your own as well. 
 
Proximity Bracelets (Social Distancing) - How close should I get to someone?
RSA will have a limited supply of proximity bracelets at the RSA Registration Desk. These are color-coded wristbands to make individual preferences known without anyone having to say a word. The wristbands take a cue from traffic lights: Red equals no contact; yellow indicates an elbow bump is okay; green means go in for the hug or the high-five.
 
Experiencing Symptoms
While at the meeting, if you are exhibiting cold or flu-like symptoms, have knowingly been exposed to COVID-19, or have received a positive COVID-19 test we ask that you remain in your hotel room. Of course, if any of the above, prior to traveling to the meeting, please do not attend. Registration refunds (minus $50 fee) will be given with documentation.

 

RSA reserves the right to change these guidelines at any time.
