PNW24 Conference Health and Safety Protocols

Providing a safe and comfortable environment for all attendees at the PNW24 conference is of utmost importance to Philanthropy Northwest. We will comply with all applicable federal, state and local health authority requirements as well as any specific University of Montana requirements.

We share in the responsibility for a safe and healthy environment with all attendees, speakers, exhibitors and location employees.

To help ensure your health and well-being and minimize the risk of transmission, these COVID-19 related practices are in effect for the PNW24 conference:

  • We recommend full COVID-19 vaccination of the first two doses, plus at least one booster.
  • We recommend that you test before you travel as well as once you arrive at the conference.
  • Attendees are welcome to wear a mask based on their comfort.
  • Please be mindful of social distancing preferences.
  • Practice good hand hygiene to minimize the spread of germs and risk of transmission.
  • If you feel unwell during the event, please do not attend any sessions. We encourage you to take the necessary safety precautions to protect yourself and others.
