IAM UK Chapter Conference/training course– COVID-19 guidance
We look forward to once again holding a face-to-face conference and bringing the asset management community together.
The health and safety of everybody attending or working the event are our top priority, so to make sure we’re as COVID-secure as we can be, we are putting in place many measures.
We ask that you work with us, the event venue and staff, and your fellow delegates to make a safe live event that is in line with UK Government guidance.

We ask that you follow the following guidance:
• Do not travel or attend if you are feeling unwell or have any symptoms of a cold or a virus.
• Do not travel or attend in breach of track and trace guidelines in force at the time of the event.
• Registration is mandatory at the start of each day. We will supply a record of all attendees for track and trace purposes if required.
• We encourage the use of masks and hand sanitisers, but these remain optional in line with current guidelines. Should Government advice change to compulsory mask wearing, we will enforce this at the event.
• We encourage you to maintain as much social distance as possible, exercise caution in enclosed spaces, and respect other attendees doing so if they wish.

We will ask the venue to provide
• Sanitising stations and face masks around the IAM event areas
• Extra space so that attendees can move about freely, or sit further apart in sessions or meals, whilst reducing physical contact
• Well ventilated event areas
• Enhanced cleaning of communal facilities (elevator buttons, handrails, door handles etc).

Please note that the venue is a hotel and that not all areas are under the control of the IAM. There will be other members of the public in catering areas, hotel corridors, entrances and exits, bathrooms and other shared spaces. The hotel currently does not have any mandated rules about masks, hand sanitising or social distancing for their own guests.

Risk assessment: a COVID-19 risk assessment has been carried out by the hotel and is available by request. The IAM has carried out a risk assessment based on government guidance.

General IAM Covid Event Safety Policy

The IAM will take all measures available in conjunction with the venue to follow government guidelines at the time in respect of staff and delegate COVID safety.
