WOBURN, Mass., March 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Validation Institute (VI) and The Global Pharmaceutical and Medical Meetings Summit are hosting a one-hour webinar on Tuesday, March 17, at 2PM EDT titled, "Using Technology and Data to Reduce COVID-19 Transmission Risk and Anxiety in the Conference, Hospitality, and Related Industries." The webinar is designed for leaders in the conference, education, hospitality, entertainment, sports and technology industries, and facility managers, and government officials. The webinar will cover emergency preparedness and methods of risk mitigation. Attendees will discover effective techniques to reduce disease transmission, as well as how to clearly communicate the reasons for those steps to their audience.
Registration for this event is $199 and is available here. Discounted and complimentary passes are available for select academic and other not-for-profit applicants.
Webinar topics include:
This webinar will describe mitigation standards for meetings. Speakers will present data-driven and novel best practices to iterate to what employee health educator Al Lewis calls "the middle ground between panic and negligence."
In addition to greeters with hand sanitizers, taking attendees' temperatures, and screening for prior travel (none of which are close to 100% effective), best practices covered will include creative techniques to keep people from shaking hands, spacing of chairs, and communicating general awareness, using attendee-education quizzes such as this one, prepared by Quizzify (and reviewed by doctors at Harvard Medical School), that will be made available gratis to webinar attendees for use with their colleagues.
Important case studies of best and worst practices are rapidly emerging. As industry professionals, we must learn from the ever-changing environment and our peers on the best practices and preparedness to combat COVID-19. To date, one meeting has led to a significant number of cases. The details of containment practices are not yet fully known but are being researched and we welcome additional case studies and speakers.
