The hotels listed will have reserved room blocks.  Please see TRAVEL PAGE for details.

WORKSHOPS

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

​

Will EEID be in person or virtual?

Currently EEID 2022 is planned to be in-person, with a virtual option for attendees who cannot attend in person. However, this is subject to change based on the current COVID-19 situation.  (Emory COVID-19 Protocols) 

 

What COVID-19 precautions is EEID 2022 taking?

Participant safety is our highest priority. Currently, we plan that vaccination and masking will be required for all in-person attendees. We will be monitoring the COVID situation and releasing additional guidelines. At a minimum, we will be following Emory University guidelines and COVID precautions because the event will be held on campus (Emory COVID-19 Protocols). At this time, we will require all attendees to be vaccinated, boosted and to submit written proof when registering.  We also anticipate attendees to wear masks.  However, the organizers may recommend stricter precautions based on current trends prior to the conference.

 

When should I buy a ticket?

We will aim to make a final decision on whether EEID 2022 will be held in person by early May 2022.  Please check the EEID website or our twitter page for additional updates as the conference gets closer.

​

​

Can I submit multiple abstracts?

Participants can only submit one first-author abstract, but can be co-authors on additional abstracts by other first authors.

​

Is there a cost for submitting an abstract?

No.  Submission is free.
