      A Word on Safety & Our COVID-19 Protocol

      We’re of course closely monitoring the emerging wisdom on health and safety vis-à-vis COVID-19, and have every precaution built into the event. If the COVID-19 situation forces us to postpone the event, your application will rollover to a newly scheduled date.


      Some of us remain worried about attending in-person events for various reasons: some have unvaccinated children, immunocompromised family members, or simply don’t feel comfortable attending in-person events without feeling secure about the COVID-19 protocols. We published our protocols to include: proof of full vaccination; a negative COVID-19 test result from on-site testing the day of the event (included in the in-person registration fee); and masks indoors. (Attendees are, of course, free to take off their masks outdoors, where most planned networking will occur, e.g. during lunch and the reception, while enjoying the gorgeous Rosewood grounds, or while poolside under the California sun!)

      Terms & Conditions apply.
