ImproveCareNow (ICN) will comply with all federal and local guidelines and will ensure our policies and guidelines are up to date as we approach the conference. Seating arrangements for meals, plenary sessions and breakouts (rounds or classroom style) will be determined as the conference date approaches.

Masking

• Updated 8/1/2022: Masks are now required to be worn by attendees during conference activities. Please be prepared by bringing your own mask(s). ICN will evaluate the levels of infection and spread approaching the time of the conference and determine if other modifications need to be made at that time.
