CHEST 2021 safety efforts – everyone has a role

Our commitment to your safety

CHEST is taking extra precautions to keep you safe too – it’s not just on you! Daily temperature screenings will be conducted upon entry to the convention center and Hilton Orlando for everyone.

During the meeting, floor graphics will be used to outline 6-ft social distancing. In the concession areas, seating will be properly distanced and transparent shields will be in place. The exhibit hall will have extra wide aisles, which are not only safe, but easier to move through.

Public space and public restrooms are monitored by OCCC Environmental Services. They conduct sanitizing tasks within the restroom banks throughout the day and a thorough cleaning overnight. They also regularly sanitize all high touch points in the public space throughout the day as well; ie, door handles, ATMs, escalator handrails, elevator buttons, etc.

Staff and security have been increased to provide the best customer service and information accessibility to all in-person attendees. Medical personnel will also be present on site and available to help individuals who are feeling unwell.

It’s been a long year apart from our CHEST community. We can’t wait to see you in Orlando, Florida, October 17-20, for the high-quality education you expect.
