Your safety, well-being, and event experience has always been the top priority of the IDN Summit & Reverse Expo. Never has that duty to serve been clearer than it is now. The enhancements to the IDN Summit employ stringent cleaning and safety practices to support the health and wellness of all attendees. As we look forward to the 2022 Spring IDN Summit, we continue to monitor COVID-19 guidelines and ensure the best public health practices are being exercised. As new information and guidance becomes available, we will adapt quickly and appropriately, keeping your safety and comfort top-of-mind.

Safety during the IDN Summit Reverse Expo

The IDN Summit team has worked diligently to ensure the safety of attendees during the On-Site Reverse Expo. Below is a list of enhancements to the On-Site Reverse Expo. 

  • Printed Items: Due to concerns of distributing paper literature we ask that no brochures, catalogs, and other printed materials be distributed to Reverse Expo hosts during the Reverse Expo. 
  • Business Cards: The IDN Summit will provide a “Hospital Contact Sheet” during the Reverse Expo in lieu of exchanging business cards. For Suppliers, your contact information will be available in the virtual platform for other registered attendees to access.  
  • Hand Sanitization: Hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout the Reverse Expo hall.
  • Transparent Barrier Screens: We are increasing the size of the expo booth and the distance between booths. We will also have plexiglass barriers installed at all booths.
  • Sanitizing Schedule: In addition to breaks during the Reverse Expo to allow for sanitization, the hotel staff will continually sanitize booth surfaces while the Reverse Expo Hall is open.
  • Opening Procedure: All attendees will be required to social distance while in queue for the Reverse Expo.
  • Floor Markings: We will place “safe distance” markers, following social distancing guidelines, in the Reverse Expo.
  • Directional Signage: We will place directional signage to improve traffic flow within the Reverse Expo.
