In-person attendance
Health and Safety Policy
ACAMS considers the health and safety of all those on-site at the 2022 ACAMS Hollywood 26thAnnual Moneylaundering.com Conference as our priority.
ACAMS is offering in-person attendance at the 2022 ACAMS Hollywood Conference in Hollywood, Florida in compliance with local government orders permitting such gatherings at this time. At this time ACAMS is following current CDC guidelines and will require masks be worn indoors during the conference, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will be available upon request for anyone in need of one. All attendees and staff are expected to fully comply with applicable safety precautions, such as staying home if exhibiting signs of illness. To make your experience safer and more comfortable sanitization stations will be available in the lobby, elevator banks, and throughout the meeting space.
At this time, Broward County does not have any restrictions involving capacity limits, large gatherings, and other safety protocols. However, in the event that hospitalization rates rise, Broward County could re-instate capacity limits, which could impact the number of attendees permitted at the 2022 ACAMS Hollywood Conference. If this were to occur, you would be notified as to the status of your registration. If state or local capacity restrictions require ACAMS to reduce the number of attendees at the 2022 ACAMS Hollywood Conference, and you are unable to attend the conference in person, you will be provided alternatives, such as the ability to attend virtually or to transfer your pass to the next in-person event. Refunds will not be available.
If you subsequently test positive for COVID-19, we ask that you contact Judy Jurado (JJurado@acams.org). They will provide your information to the local health department to support any contact tracing efforts. In accordance with local health department requirements, ACAMS will comply with any contact tracing and/or notification protocols if we are notified that any attendee has tested positive for COVID-19.
