Dear Colleagues,

The RAMS Board of Directors and Management Committee have been keeping up with the guidance of the World Health Organization, CDC and state and local authorities related to travel, quarantine, meetings and events. As always, we are committed to safety-first and then providing a memorable RAMS experience. We are working with the conference hotel, Rosen Hotels & Resorts, to keep our attendees and associates safe during their stays.

After looking into all of the trends and data as well as all of alternative options, we have decided to proceed with our in-person conference in late January 2021, after examining the trend of new infections and the aggressive and effective safety protocols put in place at the hotel, which include temperature checking, face masking and social distancing. The detailed safety measures and the symposium venue's commitment could be found here.

In addition to the stringent safety protocols described above, we will be prepared for any changes that might arise. Of course, in the unlikely event that there is a closure of the venue, we will have a suitable refund policy in place, as well, to protect you.

We are excited to see you in beautiful, Orlando Florida!!

Sean D. Carter

RAMS 2021 General Chairman

Got it!
