FOR YOUR
HEALTH & SAFETY

The health and safety of our employees and guests is our highest priority as we come together in Mankato, Minnesota for the 2022 mtu Power Generation Symposium.

In an effort to protect all participants of the event, we are requiring daily COVID-19 testing. All attendees should complete a daily rapid test prior to entering the Mayo Clinic Event Center on October 12 and October 13. 

On October 12, you should complete a test on your own.  If you do not have access to a test, we will have complimentary tests available at the entrance to the Mayo Clinic Event Center.  You will be given a test for use on October 13 and you should complete it prior to arriving at the event center.

Each day after you complete the test, take a picture of your negative result on your cell phone to present at the conference if requested. If you test positive, please do not attend the event. We reserve the right to spot check for a negative test result, or request a rapid test be performed if an attendee appears symptomatic at the event.

Our expectations are for all participants to abide by safety restrictions to include:

• Individuals should not attend the event if they have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 14 days or if they are concerned that they have been exposed to the virus within the last 14 days and could possibly test positive.
• All participants will test as noted above and will not attend if experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or other illness. 
• All event participants are expected to observe and engage in recognized preventive actions to help ensure a safe environment, including frequent hand washing.
• You will be required to wear your event badge AT ALL TIMES during the conference, including during our reception networking functions.  This will be provided to you at the registration desk when you check in.

We look forward to safely hosting you in Mankato in October!
