Duty to Self-Monitor and Care for Others

In line with SCG's values of equity and community, we respectfully ask attendees to prioritize the collective health and well-being of all participants when deciding to attend SCG events. We ask that you not attend if you become ill or exhibit any signs or symptoms of COVID-19. SCG reserves the right to refuse entry to any participants who exhibit symptoms of illness. 

SCG encourages event participants to self-administer a rapid test the morning of the event and encourages mask-wearing for any attendees for whom that is most comfortable. Masks and sanitation supplies will be available at the registration desk upon request. View SCG’s Health & Safety Policy. Thank you for helping us take care of one another!

We will strive to safeguard the health and safety of all those involved in SCG events but cannot guarantee that attendees and participants will not be exposed to, or become sick from exposure to, COVID-19 or its variants. We thank you for your help in keeping our community safe.
