Emap Secure
Emap Secure is the health and safety standard for our live events, developed to address the risk posed by COVID-19.
From 24 February 2022 the UK Government lifted restrictions, including those
in place for live events. www.gov.uk/coronavirus
This ‘emap Secure’ document explains emap’s approach to delivering it’s live
events in a responsible and COVID-secure way post 24 February 2022.
We want our attendees to be confident that we are taking precautions to ensure
their safety.
Equally we want our attendees to be conscious of their peers’
safety and act responsibly to reduce transmission and prevent infection.
While this document is intended to be a guide for all emap live-events, it is
important to note that we will adhere to any changing Government restrictions
and any additional measures dictated by venues or suppliers. This flexible
approach will be applied on an event-by-event basis and specific instructions
will be issued to all events attendees in pre-event information.
Emap Secure measures
1. Personal hygiene
All Emap events will provide additional hand sanitising stations throughout
the event space, encouraging all participants to regularly wash and disinfect
their hands.
2. Registration & Ticketing process
Emap will, where possible, make use of contactless registration. This may
mean we ask delegates to collect their badge and connect their own lanyard
or register during a specific time slot. We will use digital tickets at the majority
of our events to ensure physical contact is limited, reducing the risk of
transmission.
3. Mask Wearing
Mask wearing is not mandatory but are welcomed if it is personal preference
to wear one.
4. Lateral Flow Testing
Whilst it is not mandatory, we recommend a lateral flow test is taken within
48 hours prior to attending. If the test is COVID-positive and/or you feel
unwell we request you do not attend the event.
5. Event venue policies
We will at all times work with the venues to ensure the highest standards of
safety and cleanliness and act to follow any changes in Government guidelines.
In some instances, venues may dictate additional measures. If there are any
specific measures in place your Event Manager will be in touch to inform you
of these well in advance.
6. Travel
If you are travelling from overseas to the event please check your country’s
advice for guidance on travelling, as well as the latest government guidance
on entering the UK here
7. Communication and information management
Emap will take steps to ensure attendees are informed of any changes
to Government advice in pre-event communications. Please refer to your
attendance guide issued by the events team for specific guidance per-event.
If you are not sure you have received this, please contact your Event Manager.
