Covid-19 safety guidelines for Code BEAM America

Your safety and the safety of others is of the utmost importance to us as organisers and Computer History Museum.

All attendees must present one of the following:

• A negative COVID test dated no more than 72 hours prior to the conference (both quick test and PCR test are accepted)
• Proof of vaccination (in writting or as a photo on mobile, in English)
• A waiver form signed a day prior to the conference via conference app or signed on paper on the day of the conference.

Do not attend if you or anyone you have been in contact with has shown any symptoms of COVID-19 72 hours prior. If you click “Yes” on any item on the waiver form, you will not be admitted to the event.

Anyone who cannot attend in person can receive a full refund by contacting us up-to a month before the conference or exchange the in-person ticket to a virtual one and receive the reimbursement of the difference in the tickets’ prices.
