Health & Safety

ASBO International looks forward to welcoming attendees to San Diego, California in February. We encourage all conference participants to continue to check this page for the latest health and safety information for this year’s conference. 

  

COVID-19 

While there are currently no well-being protocols in place, in the event protocols are needed, all attendees will be asked to participate in and abide by all safety protocols implemented onsite for the event. We will continue to closely monitor all conditions related to COVID-19 between now and the start of the event and reserve the right to modify health screening protocols at our sole discretion. We will inform you of any such changes, and as a condition of participation, you agree you will follow these protocols. 

  

Safety Measures While Onsite  

If there is an emergency, please notify ASBO International staff or a hotel associate immediately. The Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter has its own Emergency Response Team (ERT). The ERT can be contacted via Service Express by dialing “0” from any house phone. This will allow the ERT to contact the correct emergency personnel and ensure there is no confusion as to where they are going within the hotel.
