COVID-19 GUIDELINES
As of November 1, 2022, NDIA will no longer require proof of vaccination status or negative test result in order to attend a NDIA in-person meeting, conference or event. Mask-wearing at NDIA meetings and events will be optional.
NDIA expects attendees to take the responsibility to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on measures to reduce infection from COVID-19 and to protect against severe complications. The CDC recommends that everyone over age 12 receive the updated bivalent vaccine as soon as they are eligible to do so. For more information, please review the guidelines at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/stay-up-to-date.html. Attendees who are not feeling well are asked to take an at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen test before traveling to a NDIA meeting and should not attend if they test positive or have symptoms of COVID-19. NDIA asks all attendees to act responsibly and with consideration for the health and safety of others.
NDIA reserves the right to adjust these guidelines, as necessary.
EVENT CODE OF CONDUCT
NDIA’s Event Code of Conduct applies to all National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), National Training & Simulation Association (NTSA), and Women In Defense (WID) meeting-related events, whether in person at public or private facilities, online, or during virtual events. NDIA, NTSA, and WID are committed to providing a productive and welcoming environment for all participants. All participants are expected to abide by this code as well as NDIA’s ethical principles and practices. Visit NDIA.org/CodeOfConduct to review the full policy.
HARASSMENT POLICY
The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), National Training & Simulation Association (NTSA), and Women in Defense (WID) are committed to providing a professional environment free from physical, psychological, and verbal harassment. NDIA and its affiliates, NTSA and WID, will not tolerate harassment of any kind, including but not limited to harassment based on ethnicity, religion, disability, physical appearance, gender, or sexual orientation. This policy applies to all participants and attendees at NDIA, NTSA, and WID conferences, meetings, and events. Harassment includes offensive gestures and verbal comments, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, inappropriate photography and recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriately physical contact, and unwelcome attention. Participants requested to cease harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately, and failure will serve as grounds of revoking access to the NDIA, NTSA or WID event.
