As face-to-face (F2F) meetings begin to reopen amidst COVID-19, the need to implement new safety protocols has emerged. To operate F2F meetings responsibly during a pandemic, it is vital that we take action to ensure participants, suppliers, and staff are protected within the scope of our meetings from contracting or spreading a communicable disease. Going beyond the basics of social distancing, mask-wearing, and frequent hand sanitization, there are myriad considerations to cultivate safe environments.

The team at Summit Management recently completed a course provided by Health Education Services that defines the role and describes the responsibilities of the Pandemic Compliance Advisor (PCA) whose duty is to ensure that these safe practices are implemented, communicated, and effectively carried out throughout the entire meeting cycle. As we are now certified PCA’s, provided by Health Education Services, we are better positioned to help our clients to ensure best practices for the safest execution of their F2F meetings.

Why Engage Summit as Your PCA?

The PANDEMIC COMPLIANCE ADVISOR works from event inception through the final day as part of the meeting team to help:

Ensure the venue follows appropriate regulations, starting at Request for Proposal (RFP)/sourcing
Secure safety supplies
Engage and educate PCA support staff
Coordinate risk mitigation on-site, on the ground and in-the-moment

When you are ready to plan your next traditional face-to-face live meeting, be sure to make Summit Management your first call. We will be with you every step of the way with COVID risk mitigation in mind throughout the entire process.
