Health And Wellness Guidelines
The health and safety of everyone attending the in-person portion of our events is Forrester’s top priority. Therefore, we will be executing the Forrester Health and Wellness programme at all events. Our four areas of focus will be:
Protect & Detect
Attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff will be required to either be fully vaccinated or provide a negative COVID-19 test. Proof of full vaccination or a negative PCR or rapid antigen test, taken within 48 hours of arriving at the event will need to be provided to attend Forrester events. Where possible, rapid tests will be available onsite. Participants will be asked not to attend if they are feeling unwell, and planning teams will follow local health authority guidance on detecting and managing anyone who displays symptoms of COVID-19.
Cleaning & Hygiene
All event locations will undergo daily enhanced cleaning measures, working with venue partners to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness. High-touch areas at our events will be cleaned frequently. Hand sanitizing stations and signage will encourage everyone to regularly wash and disinfect their hands.
Physical Distancing
Where appropriate, the in-person portion of our events will include adequate physical spacing, where possible, to encourage physical distancing. The number of touchpoints at the event will be minimized. We will also offer the option for non-contact registration and queuing will be avoided through increased registration times and thorough event layout planning. In addition, we will ask everyone to avoid handshakes in favor of non-contact greetings and we will cast reminders to maintain physical distancing where necessary.
Local Guidance
Forrester events will follow relevant health authority guidance on screening participants and the use of PPE. If necessary, we will work with local authorities to trace and contact participants at our events, subject to local privacy regulations.
