Updated Feb 28th Regarding the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak: All Global Exchange Events are proceeding as planned. The World Health Organization’s recommendation is that travelers practice usual precautions. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates as necessary. 

We are working with all venues to ensure that the facility has an ongoing health and safety plan and adequate sanitization stations are in place.  

We encourage all attendees to become familiar with the World Health Organization’s suggested safety precautions, which include:

• Washing your hands for 20 seconds and using alcohol based hand sanitizer
• When coughing and sneezing, cover mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands

We ask that any attendees who are feeling unwell, to not attend in person.

If you cannot attend for any reason and need assistance, simply drop us a note to buildgroup@exchangeevents.com.
