IISE Health & Safety Partnership

Better together, safely.

IISE is excited to welcome attendees, exhibitors, and partners to New Orleans for an in-person Annual Conference & Expo.

IISE Duty of Care

IISE continues to prioritize safety and health of all attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, and staff. IISE no longer requires proof of COVID-19 vaccination status or a negative test result for admittance to the Annual Conference & Expo 2023. However, it is recommended that attendees are vaccinated for COVID-19 and take a test prior to attending Annual 2023. Mask wearing is encouraged but will be optional. IISE is also working closely with the Hyatt Regency and their Hyatt’s Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment to ensure that the Annual Conference & Expo will be a success.

Please note safety and health measures can evolve based on current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations and any building, city, state, and federal mandates. And the safest way to travel is to be vaccinated.

The measures outlined on this page are designed to create exceptional, safe experiences for all conference participants. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Transportation

We are following travel guidelines, considerations and restrictions from global and local authorities. View the latest statement from the TSA. Major airlines have also provided updates to their policies and procedures:  American Airlines,  Delta, and  Southwest. Remember: The safest way to travel is to be vaccinated.
