Conference Documents
Plans are to have the 2022 conference in New Orleans in spite of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 even now. All participants will be required to meet local/regional/national mandates to attend the conference activities so that we can keep our attendees safe.
As of 1/20/2022, New Orleans requires that proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test is required to attend all indoor gatherings of more than 500 people (e.g., FBD), all indoor dining venues, and all indoor entertainment activities. A mask mandate is in effect at this date as well. However, since these mandates are changing constantly, please always refer to Coronavirus - NOLA Ready for the most current source of information about local mandates.
Please read the FBD COVID Policy document for more information.
