IAA’s COVID plan is in accordance with state, local and Illinois Convention Center requirements and follows the CDC recommendations.
FACE MASKS
- IAA requires that all attendees, partners, and exhibitors, regardless of vaccine status, wear face masks while indoors at Illinois Arborist Association Show, including on the trade show floor and during educational sessions. This follows current CDC recommendations.
- All TPCC & IAA staff will be wearing face masks.
- Free face masks will be available at the IAA registration room, if necessary.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
- Are you symptom-free? If you feel sick, please stay home. Use the CDC’s COVID-19 Self-Checker guide to learn more about symptoms and to complete your self-assessment. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/coronavirus-self-checker.html.
