2020 ANA Digital & Social Media Conference Presented by Meredith
Guidance from Hilton San Diego Bayfront regarding the preparedness of Coronavirus (PDF)
We are monitoring the situation with the coronavirus (2019-nCoV or COVID-19) closely and will inform all attendees if an event is postponed or canceled. The safety and well-being of our members and attendees is of paramount importance and all decisions will be made based on those factors.
Like most organizations, we are getting our information about the coronavirus from the media and government websites, and new information is being shared daily.
In the instance where an ANA event is canceled, we will provide as much advance notice as possible. As we all know from reports in the media, the situation with the coronavirus is very fluid, and new information is being made available every day.
We are following expert advice that recommends (whether at an ANA event or not) that you wash your hands with soap often; avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth; and use alcohol wipes and gels if you need to wipe down a surface or do not have access to running water and soap.
To assist attendees, the ANA will add additional hand sanitizing areas and encourage attendees to follow basic hygiene.
Travelers can best protect themselves by following CDC guidelines. While there is currently no vaccine to prevent 2019-nCoV infection, the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus. The CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses, including:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol- based hand sanitizer.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as your laptop or cell phone.
The digital and social media landscape continues to change at an unprecedented pace. What’s cutting-edge today may be passé tomorrow. The 11th annual ANA Digital & Social Media Conference will feature top CMOs and key leaders who will cover important topics such as AI, influencer marketing, augmented reality, voice, social media, chatbots, content marketing, measurement, and more! The ANA Digital & Social Media Conference has become the annual “go to” event to discuss industry issues and to network and reconnect with friends!
