What are the health and safety protocols for this event?

​

AFP-GPC's first priority in all meeting and event decisions is the safety and welfare of our attendees, speakers, and team. Our planning team will continue to follow up-to-date health and safety guidance from the Centers for Disease Control as well as local and state health officials. AFP-GPC will also observe the laws and regulations that are in effect in Philadelphia. Currently, there are no local indoor mask mandates; however, we will supply masks for those who choose to wear them. Please note that protocols may change as the event approaches and we will provide any relevant updates as they become available.
