Health & Safety

TMS, in partnership with our event venue, is complying with guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and relevant state and local authorities to provide a safe and healthy environment for AM-Bench 2022 attendees as we work together to address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and well-being of our meeting attendees, partners, and staff attending events is our top priority.

Updates from Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland

As of August 2, the Bethesda/Montgomery County COVID community level is high, which means that masks are strongly recommended and social distancing and other precautions should be taken. TMS staff members are required to wear masks at the conference. If the community level changes before or during the event, TMS staff will alert you.

TMS continually monitors the COVID-19 situation and the latest guidance on health and safety protocols. Because circumstances change rapidly, we encourage attendees to visit the following sites to learn the most-up-to-date information from local and national health organizations.

TMS COVID-19 Statement

COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease, and it is not possible to eliminate the risk of spreading or contracting COVID-19. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present, and efforts to mitigate the risk of exposure to COVID-19 may not be sufficient to prevent spreading or contracting COVID-19.

By registering for AM-Bench 2022, all attendees acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions of the TMS COVID-19 Release and Hold Harmless Agreement. TMS also asks that you NOT attend AM-Bench 2022 if you are subject to the quarantine or isolation guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We also ask attendees to work with us to follow all federal, state, local, venue, and CDC guidelines and will keep you informed as to how those guidelines pertain to AM-Bench 2022. We appreciate your cooperation in these matters.
