Parking at Monona Terrace will be limited due to ongoing construction that has removed 150 spots from the onsite ramp. We encourage all attendees to:
Arrive early to allow time to find parking

Masks and Sanitation
We invite attendees to please use their best and most cautious judgment related to the possible spread of illness. It is important to care for one another in this way, and especially to support those among us who are immunocompromised or live with someone who is. People who have recently been in spaces with possible exposure to someone with COVID-19, RSV, or other illnesses are especially encouraged to wear a high-quality mask when indoors in public.
Hand sanitation will be readily available, and we will also have masks available for you.
Chemical Sensitivities
We also ask that folks be mindful of fragrance-use as there are attendees that indicate chemical sensitivities. Although the Summit is not a fragrance free event, we ask in-person Summit attendees to limit their personal use of products that contain fragrance to a minimum (i.e perfumes, lotions, room sprays, sanitizers, etc.) as these can trigger serious health issues for people with chemical sensitivities. Here you can learn more about why engaging in this collective behavioral change matters.
