Health and Safety

HEUG is requiring all Alliance 2022 attendees, presenters, exhibitors, staff and guests to be FULLY vaccinated prior to attending Alliance 2022.

No. We understand that some members may not be vaccinated but still deserve the opportunity to access our largest professional development event of the year. We will be offering an On-Demand Conference Access Pass as an alternative to the in-person event. More information about the on-demand alternative will be forthcoming.

King County has set a minimum health and safety requirement for events of 500 or more people. However, in monitoring continued developments of the COVID-19 pandemic, the HEUG Board, Alliance Planning team and staff made the determination to take our health and safety priorities to the next level by requiring ALL attendees, presenters, exhibitors, staff, and guests to be fully vaccinated prior to attending ANY Alliance 2022 event (including the Executive Event at the Sheraton Grand in Seattle). The vaccine protects everyone against the continued spread of COVID-19 and we are committed to providing our attendees a safe and enjoyable environment during any Alliance 2022 events.

HEUG is requiring all Alliance 2022 attendees, presenters, exhibitors, staff and guests to be fully vaccinated prior to attending Alliance 2022 at Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington from March 13-16, 2022. For people who are not vaccinated, but still want to access our largest professional development event of the year, we are offering an On-Demand Conference Access Pass as an alternative to the in-person event. More info to come.

All event staff (HEUG team producing the event) are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. We are making every effort to ensure all conference suppliers (staff for companies hired to service the event such as audio/visual, catering, venue and trade show contractor staff) are vaccinated. In some cases, we will not be able to mandate this with conference suppliers, and in those cases, we will require negative test results daily for those conference suppliers who are not vaccinated. We will also be mitigating interaction between conference suppliers who are not vaccinated and event participants to the best of our ability.

When you register for the Alliance 2022 conference you will receive a confirmation email. Within that confirmation email there will be a direct link on where to submit your vaccine verification.

HEUG is working with CrowdPass, a health-clearance platform that allows attendees to comply with the health and safety protocols for the Alliance 2022. For more information, please visit: https://www.crowdpass.co/privacy-policy

Data security is CrowdPass's top priority. They have partnered with two amazing companies to ensure the highest level of security for all of their clients and their event attendees: MedStack and Securicy.

MedStack is a great HIPAA-compliant platform that delivers built-in privacy and security protocols that cover all typical healthcare industry practice on personal data such as encryption, certificate and key management, backups, monitoring and logging. With MedStack's secure solution, CrowdPass can safely host attendee's health screening process as well as storing these medical data from the contact-tracing period (28 days) until the disposal period (after 28 days). Therefore, all the information collected from each user will only be accessed internally for health-screening purposes and contact-tracing purposes.

On the other hand, CrowdPass utilizes Securicy for constant quality control of their system security. Securicy is an information security management platform for businesses from start-up to large enterprises. The Securicy platform uses industry-leading best practices to generate information security policies for their web application CrowdPass and automatically create implementation tasks. They frequently audit CrowdPass's system such as with penetration tests to evaluate their security level and provide tools, resources, and advice for building and maintaining their security compliance.
