SUMMARY:2022 WAA/WIDNR IN-PERSON Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Palindrome Dates 22022 & 22222: Looking Forward\, Not Backwards\, to Our Days in Arboriculture!February 20-22\, 2022Hyatt & KI Convention Center • Green Bay\, WI \n\n\n\nAfter a two-year hiatus\, we are ecstatic to be back in person in Green Bay for the WAA & WIDNR Annual Winter Conference! We have another fabulous line-up this year you won’t want to miss! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual Option \n\n\n\nThe 2022 WAA/WIDNR VIRTUAL Annual Conference will be available for viewing on the Pheedloop Platform March 1-31\, 2022. This will be a professionally recorded conference and will offer an improved experience over last year’s virtual offering. This is a repeat performance of our In-Person Conference from February 20-22\, 2022. \n\n\n\nWatch the sessions at your own pace! The platform will be available for a full four weeks.  This seminar will include around 30 hours of virtual learning and engagement with approximately 30 CEUs available through online quizzes. You must pass the quiz with an 80% (16 of 20 correct for a one-hour session) to attain CEUs. Results will be given upon completion of each quiz\, as the quiz may be taken as often as necessary to pass. WAA will submit the passing results to ISA for you to receive your CEUs. \n\n\n\nEach person must provide their own email address and Certification number (even if one person is registering multiple people) if they want CEUs.  Participants will receive an email invite to the Pheedloop Platform the day before the event starts. Login details will be included.  More information and registration is available at our 2022 WAA/WIDNR VIRTUAL Annual Conference event page. \n\n\n\nTO PAY FOR VIRTUAL ONLY – PLEASE GO HERE: https://www.waa-isa.org/tribe-events/2022-waa-widnr-virtual-annual-conference/\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Measures (in-person event) \n\n\n\nThe WAA takes the health and safety of its membership\, conference attendees\, and exhibitors seriously. We will be adhering to all current CDC guidelines along with following Hyatt/KI Convention Center guidelines. We will have hand sanitizing stations and masks available. Event spaces will be professionally disinfected each evening. The KI Convention Center utilizes a PureChem System in meeting rooms and guestrooms\, effectively eliminating 99.997% of bacteria\, virus\, algae\, mold\, and fungus on treated surfaces. Seating will be arranged to encourage social distancing. In addition\, food will be served in accordance with CDC guidelines\, i.e.\, individually packaged or served by professional food staff.  Please do check the website for updated guidelines\, as information may change frequently. \n\n\n\nA negative COVID test will be required of all in-person attendees regardless of vaccination status. All conference attendees are required to show documentation of a negative viral test result taken within 72 hours of arrival to the conference. If you recently recovered from COVID-19\, you may instead travel with documentation of recovery from COVID-19 (i.e.\, your positive COVID-19 viral test result on a sample taken no more than 90 days before the conference and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you were cleared to attend). A COVID symptom and contact health screening will also be required to attend the conference. \n\n\n\nFacemasks will be required in all areas of the Hyatt and the KI Convention Center.  We will have limited capacity at the KI Convention Center with the maximum number of registrants set at 462 attendees (not including exhibitors).  Once capacity is met\, registration will close.  WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY WALK-UP REGISTRATIONS.  The WAA will not have the capacity to police or enforce any safety protocols. All participants will depend solely on the goodwill and professionalism of our membership to follow safety protocol and protect one another. \n\n\n\nCOVID Testing Requirements & FAQ’s\n\n\n\n Isolation and Quarantine Guidelines/Flowchart \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHotel Information – Blocks are NOW CLOSED! \n\n\n\nReservations can now be made for the annual conference.  We have blocks in three hotels this year!  \n\n\n\nHyatt (host hotel)= Attached to KI Convention Center at 333 Main St. $116/night for a double\, $136/night for a triple\, $156/night for a quad occupancy\, 402-592-6464 or 888-421-1442 or online https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/GRBRG/G-AA22 Please make reservations before January 29\, 2022. \n\n\n\nHampton Inn = Attached to KI Convention Center at 201 Main St.\, $129/night for a double queen\, 800-457-2929 or 920-437-5900.  Indicate you are with the Arborist Group Block.  Please make hotel reservations before January 20\, 2022. \n\n\n\nHotel Northland – 1 block from KI Convention Center at 302 N.
