COVID 19 POLICY
The Organizing Committee is pleased to announce that PASTE 2023 will be offered as an “In Person Conference”.
The safety and comfort of our delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors, is extremely important to the Paste 2023 Organizing Committee. We are committed to providing a positive conference experience, while taking any necessary precautions.
Recognizing the importance of monitoring the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic protocols and guidelines, we will be working with the venue to ensure that all guidelines are adhered to and that all Government and Alberta Health Services regulations are followed.
Masking is not longer a requirement to attend an in person event but we strongly encourage you to mask up when you are in close quarters.
