Covid Precautions

Having spoken to several of our ticket holders we have found that we have several delegates with underlying health issues - including one of our organising team - and a lot of nervous attendees.

DDD East Midlands Conference is an inclusive event to celebrate and explore the great technical talent across the region, so we don’t want you spending the day anxious about covid, we want you to be having fun!

To ensure the event is as safe as possible for all in attendance we are taking the following precautions and ask that you help us by cooperating with them.

On arrival at the event

When you arrive we will do the following:

Check your temperature

We will do this by using a “thermometer gun,” a device that is equipped with an infrared sensor that can quickly measure surface temperature without making any contact with a person's skin.

Prove you have had a negative result on a lateral flow test in the last 24-48 hours

We would like you to do this by entering your negative result athttps://test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/report-result/login-choice.From this you will receive an email or text message to confirm your negative result, which we would like you to show us upon arrival.

If you cannot prove a negative lateral flow result we will have a testing area at the venue where you will be asked to do one in real time before joining the conference. Please bear in mind this will take 30 mins as a minimum so arrive early!

Ask you to choose a wrist band.

The wrist band will indicate if you are socially distancing or not.

• Red band: Please keep your distance.
• Green band: I'm not socially distancing.

We thank you in advance for being respectful about peoples choices around their social distancing requirements.

Throughout the day

• It is not a socially distanced conference so there is no requirement for you to keep your distance from your friends, but please be respectful of others who may want to keep their distance.
• Face mask wearing will be optional, depending on your comfort levels.
• We will provide hand sanitiser around the venue for use throughout the day

Thank you for your patience

These additional checks will mean it takes a little longer to check you in than we would usually like, but hope you understand we are taking these precautions so that everyone feels safe and relaxed and can enjoy the event.
