VMX LIVE IN ORLANDO

    If you’re attending live in Orlando, here are a few
    things you should know about our beautiful city.

    Weather
    If you need a break from winter, sunny Orlando, Florida, is the place to be.
    With average daily highs between 68 and 75 degrees in January, Orlando offers
    a warm escape where you can thaw out and soak up vitamin D.

    Attractions
    Aside from the exclusive entertainment options for VMX attendees
    (we’ll be announcing them soon!), Orlando has been deemed one of
    America’s top cities for thrills and entertainment.
    Orlando truly has it all: theme parks, water parks, zoos, aquariums, live
    shows, dinner theaters, museums, escape rooms, nightlife, concerts
    and so much more. Not to mention, it’s the home of
    the beloved Walt Disney World, where you can meet all your
    favorite Disney characters and make lifelong magical
    memories. Make sure to check your favorite attractions’
    safety protocols before planning your adventures.

    Dining
    If you picture corn dogs and cotton candy
    when you think of Orlando cuisine, think again.
    Because of Orlando’s large international
    travel base, it is home to incredible cuisine
    from all over the globe. Throughout the
    city, you’ll find taco joints, poke bowl
    shops, modern fusion restaurants,
    coffee houses, wine and tapas bars,
    vegan gems and more. We
    recommend checking safety
    guidelines before booking your
    reservations or consider food
    delivery services.

WE’RE COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY
Your health and safety are a top priority for us. We have
reimagined our educational experience, networking and
events in new ways to ensure that our community can learn,
grow and be inspired at VMX 2021.

Here’s what we’re doing to serve you:

         Safety Communications
         At VMX 2021, we’re committed to keeping you safe and informed with key developments
         and advice and recommendations for a safe conference experience. VMX will practice strict
         adherence to safety protocols and guidelines from the CDC.

         Social Distancing
         Based on health recommendations, we will adjust official capacities and reduce occupancies
         for your safety. Please register early to reserve your spot, as onsite attendance may be
         limited.

         Cleaning, Sanitizing and Disinfecting
         The GBAC STAR accredited Orange County Convention Center’s fully trained safety and
         sanitization staff has implemented the industry’s highest standards for cleaning and
         disinfection of the facility. Extra hand-washing and sanitizing stations will be available.

         Controlling Entrances
         We will be regulating the flow and density of those entering, attending and departing
         throughout VMX events and sessions. Non-invasive temperature checks and health
         screenings will be held at venue entrances for all event attendees, guests and staff.

         On-site Medical Concierge
         The Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) has collaborated with Visit Orlando and a
         premier healthcare system, Orlando Health, to launch a new program that will provide added
         reassurance for health and safety. The medical concierge program is among the first of its
         kind in the country and will provide VMX attendees with personalized medical support.

         Flexible Cancellation
         We understand that COVID-19 is impacting travel plans throughout the world. We remain
         positive that VMX will go on as planned, but we want to assure you that you can register
         now with minimal risk.
         Please note that due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, VMX will transfer
         VMX Live in Orlando registrations to VMX Virtual passes and provide all applicable refunds,
         should the on-site event be canceled. If you decide to not attend the live event based on
         concerns around your health or travel, there will be a nominal cancellation fee of $65 before
         November 30.
         For more information on cancellation policies and registration transfers to our virtual option,

      the pandemic; how this has affected zoos,
      aquariums and aviaries; and what infectious
      diseases are the next potential pandemic.
