Events will be held in accordance with current phase guidelines for Commonwealth of Virginia businesses and Mason’s Event Exception Committee guidelines:

  • No more than 50% occupancy of event space or 150 people, whichever is less. This cap includes organizers, panelists, etc.
  • Spaces must be configured to provide six feet of physical distance between participants
  • Events must be seated to ensure appropriate physical distancing
  • All attendees, including organizers, panelists, etc., must wear face coverings
  • Exits will be configured to reduce the occurrence of bottlenecks at the conclusion of the event
  • Events will not be open to the general public; there must be an evite or registration system in place.
