IMPORTANT NOTE:
As a reminder, we do not use a third-party reservation company to handle reservation, nor do we sell our attendee lists. If you are contacted by someone purporting to work for us and attempting to sell you an “ADI attendee list” or able to get you better prices at our HQ hotel or nearby hotels, those are scams. Kindly forward that email to our attention.

SAFETY PREPAREDNESS
We are actively monitoring health and safety environments and will communicate any changes to our current preparedness.
We will keep some of the health measures that allowed us to make our Louisville event safe;

- Attendees will self-scan the QR Code emailed mid-September on printout or on their phone. Our staff can also look up your name on our computers
- Conference bag will be pre-stuffed and available to attendees on stands
- No printed schedule. You can download the conference app at ADICONF. If you have the app from prior years, the conference schedule and floor map have been added.
- Onsite registration computer will be available to incoming attendees with help from our staff.
Meals and Welcome Tasting
Setting will be dictated by health measures in place.
Educational Sessions
- Room capacity will be limited to <80% of the room capacity
Exhibit Floor
- The exhibit floor will not be carpeted to avoid soft surfaces and ease daily cleanup
- Wide aisles/ more aisles have been built in the floor plan to ease social distancing
Those guidelines will be updated as need arise, so please refer to this page.
