The address is 1201 Houston Street; Fort Worth, TX 76102.

For Scaling New Heights 2021 in Ft. Worth Texas, we are taking the following safety measures related to COVID-19:

• Social Distancing: We expanded our physical footprint at the conference center to provide social distancing in all breakout sessions, pre-function spaces, main stage sessions, and our registration desk.
• Larger Breakout Rooms: We expanded the size of every breakout room to allow for social distancing and moved some breakout sessions into rooms that have taller ceilings to improve airflow in the room.
• Table Sanitization: We will sanitize tabletops in breakout rooms, the main stage arena, and the exhibit hall between sessions.
• Temperature Checks: We will perform daily, mandatory temperature checks of all conference participants.
• Additional Seating Options for Dining: We have added small standing tables as an option for people who wish to eat by themselves or with no more than one additional diner.
• Onsite Testing: We have contracted with a company to provide onsite rapid COVID testing for attendees choosing to be tested while at the conference or prior to departing at the end of the conference. This testing is covered by most insurance providers.
• Hand Sanitizer: We will provide hand sanitizer and/or sanitization stations throughout the convention center.

Note: Masks are strongly encouraged, but not required.

Note: We may add safety measures/policies between now and the conference. We will make the final decision on what safety measures we will deploy based on the most recent data and most current guidance/requirements from federal and state authorities. We will update this FAQ regularly and will also communicate updated guidance to all registrants closer to the date of the event.
