2022 ARSO Health and Safety Hub

The health and safety of our conference attendees are our top priority. The 2022 ARSO conference Organizing Committee remains vigilant in monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic.

ARSO is planned as a hybrid format with both onsite and virtual options.  We look forward to you joining us in Long Beach, CA.  If you don’t feel comfortable participating in large gatherings, if your organization has travel restrictions, or if you are unable to be vaccinated, we encourage you to join us virtually.

In-person attendance is limited to those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. More information will be forthcoming on the process for relaying proof of vaccination status.  Full vaccination means that the day of your entry to ARSO must be at least 14 days after your final dose of a U.S. FDA approved or WHO authorized vaccine.

ARSO will be following all local guidelines and adhering to venue-specific standards in order to host the event safely and effectively.

If a change in your sponsoring organization’s travel policy necessitates cancellation after you have registered and paid, standard conference cancellation policies will apply.
