WHAT TO EXPECT – HEALTH AND SAFETY To ensure the safety of its exhibitors, attendees and staff, KBIS and IBS are committed to limiting event concerns. Currently, the show's health and safety protocols include: All registered attendees and exhibitors are required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result within five days of attending the show. (Per the CDC, Negative COVID-19 test results are valid for 5 days (120 hours), meaning that the Negative test must have been completed no earlier than Sunday, February 6, 2022 in order to be accepted for entry for all three show days.) Two types of Negative COVID-19 tests are acceptable: polymerase chain reaction (referred to as "PCR"; also called diagnostic or molecular), or rapid antigen test (also referred to as a "rapid test"). Either of the following will be accepted for entry when accompanied by a valid government-issued photo ID: an electronic proof of a negative test result through a show management- approved app, or a printed or digital copy of your negative COVID-19 test results, written in English, that indicates the type of test administered (PCR or Antigen) and has your name and the date the test was administered. If the individual is unable or unwilling to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test result, a proof of full COVID-19 vaccination prior to entry will suffice. Per the CDC, US domestic residents are fully vaccinated if they have completed two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The CDC has also indicated that it will consider international travelers who have completed full regimens of vaccines approved for emergency use by the World Health Organization as fully vaccinated. Either of the following will be accepted for entry (when accompanied by a valid government-issued photo ID): a CDC Vaccination Card (a photo or photocopy of your card is also valid, as is digital documentation via a mobile device), or a government- Issued vaccination record in English (paper, electronic, or photo). In addition, all registered attendees and exhibitors are required to wear a face mask regardless of vaccination status when riding on an Official Show Hotel Shuttle and when indoors at the OCCC from move-in through move-out and at other show-related venues. Masks will be available at the OCCC if needed. The Orange County Convention Center has established safety measures for visitors including cleaning and hand sanitizer stations throughout the center.
