More about Informa AllSecure

What is Informa AllSecure?
Informa AllSecure is the approach we are taking to enhancing the health and safety standards in place at Informa events following COVID-19. From exhibitors to sponsors, speakers, visitors, and journalists, those who come to our events come to connect, learn, know more and do more business, effectively and safely. The standards and practices that makeup Informa AllSecure are designed to provide confidence that at every Informa event, we are striving to provide the highest standards of safety, hygiene, cleanliness, and quality.  

How was Informa AllSecure developed?
Informa AllSecure is based on a set of event industry standards, called All Secure. The All Secure industry standards were developed collaboratively by a group including industry associations UFI, AEO, and SISO, event organizers Informa, Reed Exhibitions and Clarion, a range of event venues, suppliers and with input from health, government, and local authorities. Informa AllSecure is the way these industry-wide All Secure standards are being applied to Informa events.  

What can I expect at an Informa AllSecure event?
You can expect to see that health and safety are a priority and that a range of measures are in place to ensure everyone involved is able to enjoy a safe, hygienic, productive, and high-quality organized event experience. As a starting point, Informa AllSecure events will be run according to the guidance of government or official authority guidance, and according to any venue-specific regulations. In addition, all Informa AllSecure events follow ten key commitments around hygiene, physical distancing, and protection & detection, with additional measures in place where relevant and practical.  

Can you guarantee my safety at an Informa AllSecure event?
No environment or space inside or outside of the home can ever be 100% safe. At controlled event gatherings like Informa events and through Informa AllSecure, we have put in place a comprehensive range of enhanced standards that make the health and safety of everyone who attends a priority. Through measures such as enhanced deep cleaning before, during, and after events, non-contact registration, distancing and crowd management, and the deployment of screening and protective equipment, we are striving to provide the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and cleanliness, and to ensure that following COVID-19, our customers, partners, and colleagues can connect, learn, know more and do business effectively, safely and with confidence.  

How are you going to ensure people stick to the rules?
We are contacting all participants before the event to let them know what to expect at the event and how to prepare. Upon arrival, signage will be displayed throughout the venue to remind everyone of the enhanced health and safety measures that are in place, and our expectations of all visitors. We are also using technology to reduce the need for physical contact, for example, non-contact registration, and actively managing visitor flow to ensure physical distancing can be maintained.  

What type of face mask is required?
All guests will be required to wear a face mask upon entry to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. Masks will be available on-site if a guest does not have their own. The CDC recommends wearing masks with two or more layers of washable, breathable fabric, that completely cover your nose and mouth, fit snugly against the sides of your face, and don't have gaps, have a nose wire to prevent air from leaking out of the top of the mask. Gaiters and face shields will not be acceptable forms of face masks at PSP/Deck Expo.
