Q. I received the offer of a paid attendee list. Is this a real offer?

A. If you receive a message offering access to the AI Governance Conference attendee list, please be aware that this is not a genuine offer. The only organization with access to the list of AI Governance attendees is DATAVERSITY, and we do not sell or rent this list to anyone. Our recommendation is to report the email as junk or phishing and refrain from replying or clicking any of the links within the email. 

Q. What COVID-19 protocols will be implemented at the AI Governance Conference?

A. In reviewing the current COVID-19 guidelines from the CDC, and the specific requirements in place in Washington, D.C., we will not be requiring proof of vaccination or negative testing in order to attend December's AI Governance Conference. 

DATAVERSITY still recommends that all attendees take measures to manage their own health risks and protect themselves by wearing face coverings (masks) indoors and being vaccinated with the latest available boosters at least two weeks prior to attending the conference.

Q. What if COVID-19 requirements change in Washington, D.C.?

A. If conditions around COVID-19 change such that stricter protocols are required by any health authority with jurisdiction in Washington D.C., then we will notify attendees immediately. 

Please ensure you have taken the time to read all of the latest Government, Public Health, travel, and testing guidance. You can find these at https://coronavirus.dc.gov/healthguidance.
