HEALTH AND SAFETY

What are the COVID policies in place at ISRI2024?

Safety is a core value at ISRI. This applies equally to your operations and all ISRI2024 Convention & Exposition events. Following CDC guidance and requirements set forth by the State of Nevada, masks are not currently required for individuals in indoor public spaces in Nevada. ISRI will continue to monitor CDC and state guidelines and requirements and update this site accordingly.

MISCELLANEOUS

What is the dress code at the convention?

Attire is business casual and some attendees wear sport jackets or light sweaters in case the temperature in the convention center and exhibit hall is cooler than preferred. Closed toe shoes are required for individuals attending off-site manufacturing and yard tours.

What do I need to get into the exhibit hall and sessions?

You should wear your badge and carry a photo ID with you for all convention activities. Your badge allows event security to identify what events you are eligible to attend. Photo ID will be required at all ISRI-hosted events so you should always have it available.

Am I allowed to take photos in the Exhibit Hall?

Photography in the exhibit hall is limited. As a courtesy, please ask an exhibitor before taking photos of equipment and displays in their area. Photography is only allowed during the official open hours of the exhibit hall. Photography during set-up, breakdown, and after hours is strictly prohibited and can result in the loss of convention credentials.

If I receive an email solicitation from anyone claiming, they can sell me access to an authentic ISRI2024 attendee list is that legitimate?

Be aware of scams. ISRI does not sell attendee lists. Anyone claiming they have a list of attendees to this event and is selling it is not being truthful. If you are interested in seeing attendees, you can do so after registering by logging into the registration page and going to the Networking Center. ISRI Connect, the ISRI mobile app, will also have a list of attendees that will be available to those registered several weeks before the convention.

I want to promote ISRI2024 and my participation. Does ISRI have logos, graphics and marketing assets to use?
