Updated (10/05/2021). Upon advice from local government and healthcare workers and meetings with the expo center staff we have decided to follow accepted protocols for large indoor events and mandate masks be worn to enter the convention center. We have attended other conventions in the area and have seen that mask requirements are workable for our type of event if just a little common sense and courtesy is used. 

This requirement is viewed as most important in congested areas of course. You will have to have a mask on to enter the expo floor. Beyond that, we expect masks to be worn any time you are in an area near other attendees such as moving about the floor and especially when waiting in lines.

Some celebrities may strictly require masks at their tables or even in photo ops and we will respect their wishes. Failure to cooperate with our staph or celebrities is grounds for immediate removal from the convention.
