Join us for an AMA with SAP Concur Fusion's Health and Safety coordinator, Jessica Kurowski. During the AMA, Jessica and Fusion staff will be online dedicated to answering your questions on CLEAR, vaccine verification, COVID-19 testing, social distancing, masking, and all of the measures we're taking to ensure we can gather in person safely. 

Staying Safe in Orlando with Health Pass by CLEAR 

We are committed to the health and safety of all event attendees. To facilitate our collective safety, attendees of SAP Concur Fusion must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours prior to arriving at the event. Masks are also required for everyone at SAP Concur Fusion, and an interaction comfort level indicator will be provided upon onsite arrival. 

We’ve partnered with Health Pass by CLEAR for secure, digital proof of COVID-related health insights via the free CLEAR mobile app. Learn more about onsite precautions here.

I know you are working with Clear to do the Covid Testing, will we need to get tested locally or when we get to Orlando?  How much is the Pre-Covid Test?  If test is positive will we get a refund for the event?

[jessicakurowski]

Thanks for your question, @gmeversgerd! 

Within the CLEAR app you can search for verified lab providers, and select your preferred provider for testing. Depending on your travel schedule, you are welcome to do this in Orlando or your home base, just ensure you complete your test 72 hours prior to arriving onsite. Additional instructions on linking a valid COVID-19 test result within the CLEAR app are available here: https://go.concur.com/health-and-safety_onsite-verification.html

Testing costs will depend on your selected provider, and there are complimentary options available within the verified lab provider list. If you test positive prior to the conference, we will provide a full refund with validation of positive test results.

How will meals be handled? Will folks be in the same room, broken out into multiple rooms, have time and the ability to take the meal to a hotel room and eat in isolation? 

[kwold]

@jwild Great question! Meal options will be pre-packaged and served in to-go containers. A menu will be available in the mobile app onsite at the event. Distanced seating will be available across the venue, in multiple rooms AND outside. Signage will display walking distances to various locations, including elevators should you prefer to eat in your room. Meal breaks are 90-minutes to 2-hours and all sessions have 30-minute breaks in between to allow for fresh air and cleaning.

So we have to test no matter the vaccination status. 

[jessicakurowski]

Thanks for your question @khambel! At this time, if you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 you will not need to provide supplementary proof of a negative test. Attendees are simply asked to provide certified proof of: Full vaccination against COVID-19 OR a negative COVID-19 test result recorded within 72 hours prior to arriving at the event. Please note that revisions on testing on may be made to align with updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), federal, state, or local government, and we will keep attendees apprised.
