ACAMS Las Vegas 2021

In-person attendance

Health and Safety Guidelines

ACAMS considers the health and safety of all those on-site at the ACAMS Las Vegas annual conference as our priority.

ACAMS is offering in-person attendance at the Annual AML & Financial Crime Conference 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada in compliance with local government orders permitting such gatherings at this time. The Aria’s safety protocols, local government and CDC guidelines require all guests and conference attendees to wear masks indoors. All attendees and staff are expected to fully comply with applicable safety precautions, such as staying home if exhibiting signs of illness. Masks are provided for anyone in need of one and sanitization stations will be available throughout the meeting space.

As of June 1, 2021, the Nevada Clark County Commission has lifted restrictions involving capacity limits, large gatherings, and other safety protocols. However, in the event that hospitalization rates rise, the Clark County Commission could re-instate capacity limits, which could impact the number of attendees permitted at the ACAMS Conference 2021. 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 ACAMS Conference 2021, 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 the state of Nevada, Clark County or South Nevada Health District mandate guests of an event to be fully vaccinated ACAMS will notify in person attendees of the vaccination validation requirement and process. To help protect the privacy and security of your personal information proof of vaccination would be collected through a third party. ACAMS will not be collecting or maintaining information on vaccinations.

If you subsequently test positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19), we ask that you contact the Aria Hotel at covid19@mgmresorts.com. They will provide your information to the local health department to support their contact tracing efforts. In accordance with local health department authorities, ACAMS will comply with any contract tracing and/or notification protocols if we are notified that any attendee has tested positive for COVID-19.

Stay connected while staying safe

To help with the safety and enjoyment of all attendees we strongly encourage responsible networking. Think fist bump or elbow tap over a handshake, and remember to give people space.

What to do if you feel unwell?

• We ask guests to stay in their room if they have COVID-19 related symptoms
• If you experience severe symptoms please contact the nearest medical care center

What if I develop COVID-19 after the event?

If you subsequently test positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19), we ask that you contact MGM at covid19@mgmresorts.com so they can provide your information to the local health department to support their contact tracing efforts.
