If participants wish to test onsite, COVID-19 testing will be available onsite through the vendor; all costs are at the responsibility of the individual.

WBENC will enforce its “Be Well” policy which requires consent during registration by all participants as a condition of onsite participation. This includes the stipulation that if you feel sick or are experiencing COVID-like symptoms prior to traveling to or while onsite in Atlanta you will reconsider your participation at the event. Anyone who experiences symptoms onsite must provide a negative COVID-19 test in order to complete the health screening.
