Health & Safety

A Safe Summit & Expo Experience

We’re working very closely with our hospitality and convention facility partners at Moscone Center to ensure the Cannabis Business Summit & Expo will be as safe as possible. Our number one priority is ensuring that our attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, and partners have a safe, clean, and enriching experience, and we will continue to monitor and implement health & safety protocols that meet or exceed federal, state, and local guidelines.

Our Procedures

Enhanced Cleaning

We’ve implemented regularly scheduled and enhanced cleaning of the event space using the protocols established by ASM Global’s VenueShield.
Plus, Moscone Center has received the highly coveted and universally recognized GBAC STAR accreditation, meaning they:
- have established and maintained a cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention program to minimize risks of infectious agents like the novel coronavirus.
- have the proper cleaning protocols, disinfection techniques, and work practices in place to combat biohazards and infectious diseases.
- have employed highly informed cleaning professionals who are trained for infectious disease prep and response.

Minimal Physical Contact

Participants will be required to maintain a distance of 6 feet between them and others.
Participants will be encouraged to limit physical contact, such as handshakes and embraces.
Aisles will be a minimum of ten (10) feet.
Capacity throughout the event will be aligned with the venue and local regulations and will be monitored by trained staff.
Directional signage will be implemented to control traffic patterns.

Personal Hygiene

All event participants and staff will be required to provide their face mask and wear it covering their nose and mouth throughout the entire event.
NCIA Cannabis Business Events will continue to advise ticket holders on proper safety measures and may provide additional PPE at the event.

Frequent Sanitization

Hand sanitizer stations will be placed at all entryways and strategically throughout the entire event space.
High-touch surfaces will be sanitized frequently throughout the duration of the event.

Pre-Event Screening

All participants will be required to complete a Health & Safety waiver/questionnaire during the ticket purchase process. Additional Health & Safety waivers may be required onsite prior to entry or picking up tickets.

Additional Measures

If necessary, NCIA Cannabis Business Events will work with local health departments and government authorities to trace and contact participants are our events, in accordance with local privacy regulations.
