Has AHVAP considered all appropriate safety precautions for holding a live meeting?

Yes. From day one, AHVAP has planned all aspects of the annual conference as if it was being held during conditions that existed in January of 2021. Chief among them are frequent checks of current conditions from the CDC as well as those existing in the city and county in and around Scottsdale and those of the hotel.

How did AHVAP make their decision to hold a live meeting?

Unlike larger professional organizations, AHVAP attendance averages less than 300, which lends itself to better environmental management in a live setting. In true value analysis fashion, AHVAP weighed the feedback and performance from past meetings as well as attendee and supplier experience which influenced the organizational business decision to focus on a rewarding live meeting experience.
