We take the developments around the coronavirus (Covid-19) very seriously. The safety and health of our employees, business partners and participants at our events is our top priority. Due to the current situation, we would like to inform you that we have taken all necessary precautions for our events. We have developed a Smart Distancing concept, which will allow us to hold live events in the usual quality and in compliance with the current hygiene regulations.
Statement on coronavirus | 15.03.2021
For this purpose, we are in close contact with our partners and customers, follow and observe the current developments via the Federal Ministry of Health and the Robert Koch Institute.
How can the current situation and developments in the coming weeks be assessed?
In Germany it is allowed to hold smaller events under certain conditions. The permitted number of participants and the requirements vary in the individual federal states and depending on the 7-day incidence rate.
The following conditions must be observed in particular:
- A minimum distance of 1.5m between participants must be maintained at all times
- Masks covering mounth and nose have to be worn at all times when not seated.
- Contact details of the participants must be given and kept for 4 weeks
- Increased hygiene measures such as regular surface disinfection must be carried out and good ventilation must be ensured
we.CONECT events usually have a number of participants of 50 to 200 persons, so that we can confidently organize our events. In addition, our conference hotels have sufficiently large areas to ensure compliance with the requirements, especially the minimum distance, at all times. We have developed an individual hygiene concept with each hotel.
For those participants who have to travel from a high risk area, we offer to reimburse the cost of an SARS-CoV-2 antigen test.
In general, we will do everything possible to ensure that secure and high-quality business conferences can continue to be held in the future – with Smart Distancing & Networking!
Will the live events take place?
we.CONECT is currently planning to hold all events in 2021.
The preparations for our events in 2021 are running as planned and will be equipped with our “Smart Distancing & Networking” concept according to the latest developments. Information about our Smart Distancing concept can be found on the respective event page.
In addition, all events at we.CONECT will be delivered digitally. More than 2 years of expertise from more than 100 digital events of our digital event series “ScaleUp 360° – https://www.scale-up-360.com/” help us to provide our partners and participants with a hybrid event experience.
