Covid safety measures at Congress
The IBMS takes the safety of its delegates, exhibitors and staff at Congress very seriously and will be implementing on-site COVID safety measures that go beyond the minimum requirements that are in place in the UK.
All people entering the Congress areas of the ICC will be required to show a valid NHS COVID pass or evidence of a registered negative lateral flow test within the past 24 hours. In addition, all attendees will be asked to wear a face covering, if possible, while on site.
All delegates and exhibition visitors will be checked by ICC staff for compliance with the above requirement and will be denied entry if unable to do so, unless able to demonstrate medical exemption.
When travelling to Congress please allow sufficient extra time for this pre-registration Covid status checks
