HEALTH AND SAFETY Health and Safety
Creating a healthy, safe meeting experience for convention attendees is our No. 1 focus. The AAEP is working with host hotel Mandalay Bay (an MGM Resorts property) and with conference partners to create a detailed plan for COVID-19 mitigation throughout all areas of the hotel and meeting space. Convention health and safety protocols will be updated frequently to reflect the most current recommendations.
At a minimum, the AAEP will follow the safety guidance provided by MGM Resorts and the state of Nevada. MGM Resorts has implemented at all its properties a “Seven Point Safety Plan,” a multi-layered approach to guest health and safety developed with guidance from public health experts. Following is a synopsis of the plan; view the full plan at

1. Screening, Temperature Checks, & Employee Training Extensive employee screening measures and training programs have been implemented. Medical and trained security personnel on staff will be able to assist should a guest develop symptoms on-site.
2. Mandatory Masks & Personal Protective Equipment
Masks are required for all guests inside public spaces. Employees are required to wear an approved mask while working.
3. Physical Distancing
Six-foot physical distancing policies have been implemented throughout, with floor guides to assist and remind guests.
4. Handwashing & Enhanced Sanitation
Guests will have easy access to handwashing stations and hand sanitizer throughout. The amount of routine cleaning has been increased, with an emphasis on high-touch surfaces and common areas.
5. HVAC Controls & Air Quality
Rigorous measures have been taken to provide as much outside air circulation throughout buildings and guest rooms, with air filters that meet or exceed published standards.
6. Incident Response Protocols
Should a guest or employee test positive for the virus, protocols will be activated, and trained staff will respond quickly so that exposed areas are thoroughly sanitized.
7. Digital Innovations
Technology has transitioned current processes into contactless options. Guests can complete the entire check-in process themselves and will no longer need to wait in line if they choose. A digital room key will be available via a mobile app for those who prefer not to use a traditional key card.
