To ensure a comprehensive approach to inclusion and diversity, it is essential to address concerns related to infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, at conferences and events. Implementing these precautions and protocols will help maintain a safe environment for all attendees.

### Preventative Measures

- **Hand Hygiene:** Provide hand sanitizing stations throughout the venue and encourage regular hand washing.

### Social Distancing
- **Seating Arrangements:** Arrange seating to allow for social distancing, ensuring ample space between attendees.
- **Crowd Management:** Implement measures to manage crowd flow and avoid congestion in high-traffic areas.

### Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- **Face Masks:** Encourage or require the use of face masks, especially in indoor or crowded spaces.
- **Protective Barriers:** Install protective barriers at registration desks, information booths, and other points of interaction.

### Cleaning and Disinfection
- **Regular Cleaning:** Ensure regular cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces and common areas.
- **Restrooms:** Maintain cleanliness and hygiene in restrooms, providing ample supplies of soap, paper towels, and hand sanitizer.

### Communication and Education
- **Information Dissemination:** Provide clear information on infectious disease protocols and guidelines to all attendees prior to the event.
- **Signage:** Display signage throughout the venue to remind attendees of safety measures and protocols.

### Response Plan
