AAFS 2022 Frequently Asked Questions
Conference Updates
The 2022 conference will be a hybrid event. This means people who wish to attend in person can, and those who cannot attend in person may attend virtually. *Not all live in-person sessions will be available virtually.
Covid-19 Update
Effective October 26, King County (which includes Seattle) mandates all indoor events to require masks for all individuals regardless of vaccination status, as well as proof of full vaccination or negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event.
AAFS will be monitoring these requirements and providing guidance and updates as they become available. We are committed to a safe and enjoyable event for all our attendees.
