Use vinyl convention wristbands to identify attendees who have passed a temperature check and signed a symptom screening survey. Provide a different color each day to ensure compliance with your event’s protocols. For added security, use fabric wristbands with a locking slider (as shown on left). These wristbands cannot be shared and are removed with scissors after use. Instruct attendees to return the next day for a symptom screening and a different colored wristband. |
Remember to provide social distancing badge ribbons as a cost-effective strategy for helping attendees feel safe, comfortable, and confident at your event!
There is nothing quite like the excitement of a busy conference. Making professional connections, forming friendships, discussing big ideas and learning new things are still possible, especially if event professionals design the event experience with safety in mind.
