The CDC’s COVID-19 Community Level status for Wayne County, MI (where Detroit is located) has shifted from Low to Medium as of May 6, 2022. In response to this we are updating our safety guidelines (see below) and changing some meeting and meal locations in the hotel to allow more space for social distancing.
AMMC is committed to keeping our attendees as safe as possible and will follow the most updated CDC guidance and all applicable government laws. We strongly recommend all attendees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or test negative for COVID-19 within 7 days of arriving in Detroit. The inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present and AMMC cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed to COVID-19 during the event.
Proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test is required to attend Monday’s dinner at the Detroit Institute of Arts (see page 11 for details). The majority of attendees have self-reported as fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Masks will be required on all buses transporting attendees to events.
Masks are encouraged throughout the run of the conference and events while not eating, drinking, or presenting.
Attendees experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 must switch to virtual attendance and notify the conference manager immediately so we can notify other attendees (your information will remain confidential). Attendees may switch to virtual attendance at any time. All hotel guest rooms include complimentary basic WiFi.

As an extra level of protection, attendees can also choose a color-coded button to show the level of social interaction with which they are comfortable. Buttons are available at the information desk. Green — I am okay with pre-COVID behaviors such as hugs and handshakes. Yellow — I desire some caution and respect physical distancing guidelines with elbow/fist bumps only. Red — I desire extreme physical distancing and the highest precautions. I may be at high risk or caring for someone at high risk. Please respect the boundaries set by your fellow attendees.
