ASOR ANNUAL MEETING COVID-19 INFORMATION

(updated November 3, 2022)

All of us at ASOR look forward to gathering safely at the Annual Meeting in Boston. We realize that everyone is eager to connect, network, and share research in-person, even if the experience may look different than pre-COVID Annual Meetings.  ASOR staff and officers are following the evolving pandemic guidelines as they develop at the local (Boston) and national (USA) levels. ASOR will follow all federal, local, and hotel guidelines and recommendations to ensure our members’ safety.

Vaccination and Mask Requirements

ASOR has updated Covid protocols (as of November 3, 2022) for the 2022 ASOR Annual Meeting in Boston. There will not be a vaccination requirement to attend the meeting, however, masks will be required in the conference venue except when presenting, responding, or actively eating or drinking.  ASOR recognizes that this masking policy is stricter than current CDC and local regulations. With attendees traveling from all over the country and world, masking will be maintained in consideration for those in the ASOR family who are immunocompromised, or live with those with these concerns.

Read more about this decision in a letter from ASOR’s President and Executive Director here.

This page will be amended as the meeting approaches with the most up-to-date information regarding health and safety practices for the 2022 Annual Meeting. Please check back often.
