Health and safety is our highest priority. PAINWeek is currently working with The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas to comply with all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended safety guidelines, as well as federal, state of Nevada, and Clark County guidelines.
Effective July 30, 2021: Per revised CDC recommendations, the State of Nevada requires all individuals, including those fully vaccinated, to wear a mask in public indoor settings. All attendees, exhibitors, vendors, staff, and faculty will be required to wear a mask while attending all activities at PAINWeek.
As conditions evolve and new information becomes available, changes will be made to our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines and communicated to all involved prior PAINWeek.
Proof of negative COVID-19 test results or vaccinations will not be required to participate at PAINWeek. (Please be advised, however, that the US at this time requires all international visitors over the age of 2 to present a negative COVID-19 test taken within 3 calendar days of travel and provide documentation of a negative PCR or antigen result to their airline before being allowed to board.)
