While we look forward to meeting with our members and invited guests in London, England in June. Our first and foremost concern is the health and safety of our members and the broader community. We will require everyone’s participation in providing as safe an environment as possible.

All London in-person meeting attendees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in accordance with the CDC guidelines outlined at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html#primaryseries (updated April 21, 2022). Attendees are required to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 along with a government issued identification card, with a photo and same name as your vaccination verification. If you do not meet these requirements we request that you join us as a virtual attendee. There will be no exceptions.

M3AAWG will require all attendees to wear a mask while in the meeting space.

Health and Safety Requirements for each meeting will be set according to government and public health recommendations, applicable at the time of the event, and what M³AAWG deems necessary to manage the risk for its in-person meeting attendees. M³AAWG may change, update, or add to these requirements at any time as it deems prudent to best protect the health and safety of attendees and others, and attendees must comply with relevant policies and requirements as communicated by M³AAWG.
