Social distancing measures will be required by all participants during the in-person conference option in South Padre Island on December 6th and 7th. These measures include wearing masks, maintaining 6 feet from other participants, allowing conference staff to test for fever, and cleaning surfaces. If for any reason the in-person conference option is cancelled due to public health requirements, your registration may be switched to the virtual option.
