In accordance with local guidance, protective masks are now optional indoors. At this time, 2023 IEEE PES Grid Edge does not intend to require participants to wear protective masks while attending the event. 

All participants should feel safe and comfortable while attending the event.  We ask that all participants be respectful of the mask-wearing and social-distancing preferences of their fellow participants. Masks will be available at registration, if needed.

Although not required, participants are encouraged to consider taking a COVID-19 test before traveling to the event and if they become symptomatic at any time during the event.

Should you feel unwell and develop symptoms related to COVID-19 while attending the event, please stay masked and quarantined (if possible) until you are able to test. Contact the onsite conference management team at [email protected] as soon as possible so your situation can be monitored and supported, as needed. Doing so will allow the team to take appropriate precautionary measures for the health and well-being of fellow participants.

Guidance on acquiring a rapid test or accessing local testing locations can be found by contacting the event manager. Please do not go to the registration desk.  Please do not go to the registration desk. 

Out of an abundance of caution, we ask you to take the following steps: 

Step 1:   Take a COVID-19 rapid test as soon as possible, staying masked and quarantined (if possible) pending testing and results. Until you take a rapid test and receive results, it is recommended you refrain from attending the in-person conference sessions and events and wear a mask if it is necessary to be in public places outside the event.  

If you test negative for COVID-19 after becoming symptomatic while attending the event, please use your best judgment to determine whether you should resume attending conference sessions or events and/or continue to wear a mask in public places, bearing in mind the potential for false negatives on early tests. Please consider both your own health and safety as well as the health and safety of other conference participants.

Step 2: If you test positive while attending the event, you must promptly notify the onsite event management team at [email protected] so they can:

• provide further guidance on isolation requirements in concert with venue personnel 
• offer support as needed (hotel accommodation modifications and connection to local medical providers/emergency centers if necessary)

You should refrain from attending conference sessions and events and continue to wear a mask in public places outside the event.

All communication and information in support of your situation will remain confidential in line with data privacy regulations.
