We appreciate your support of the SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition and want to ensure you have a safe and healthy experience while onsite. We are working with the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, partner hotels, and our supporting vendors to create a safety plan and protocols. We will continue to update this page as plans are finalized.

Update: March 1, 2022

The health and safety of our audience are of the utmost importance.  We strive to provide a safe environment for gathering while also taking a step towards normalcy for all of those in attendance.  To that effect, SATELLITE will be following all local mandates regarding masks, proof of vaccine, and negative tests.

As of March 1, Washington D.C. is no longer requiring masks indoors and is not requiring proof of vaccination or negative test. Due to this, we’ve made important health and safety changes to the event:

• SATELLITE will no longer require masks. For those comfortable, please feel free to wear your mask and we ask everyone to respect other attendees’ decision to wear or not wear a mask while at SATELLITE.
• Though we encourage full vaccination, we will no longer require proof of vaccination or a negative test to attend the event. For those interested in getting a COVID test upon arrival, during the event, or before you head home, please visit our website for a list of local options.
• All enhanced cleaning and sanitization efforts will remain in effect with the venue.

We will continue to update this page as any changes are made.
