Health & Safety
It has been 3 years since SGIM held an in-person meeting! The society is working to make SGIM22 as safe as possible through mask and vaccination mandates for all meeting participants, staff, and vendors. You’ll see increased seating distances in plenaries and sessions, hand sanitizer throughout the venue, and enhanced food safety protocols during mealtimes. As a Disney property, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin maintains enhanced cleaning of high-traffic spaces and surfaces, and HEPA/ULTA filtration in air units.
