Onsite at the conference, attendees will follow these steps at the MUSE Registration Desk:

  • Step 1: Show your government-issued ID.
    • Step 2: Verbally attest that you have been fully vaccinated or have had a negative COVID-19 test result within the past 72 hours.
    • Step 3: Receive your nametag.

    Note: MUSE does not offer COVID-19 testing onsite at the conference, nor cover any costs related to COVID-19 testing or illnesses including subsequent testing, quarantining, or associated expenses.
