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 2024. However, it is recommended that
attendees are vaccinated for COVID-19 and take a test prior to attending Annual 2024. Masks are welcome but not required. IISE is also working closely with the DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal and the
Hilton’s CleanStay and EventReady program 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.
