Health and Safety at PoCC and SDLC
We want all NAIS conference attendees to have an exceptional experience. The health and safety of participants is the number one priority at all of our events.
Below, you will find information about health and safety at NAIS People of Color Conference (PoCC) and NAIS Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC).
For our first in-person PoCC/SDLC since 2019, we’ve implemented a few additional measures to keep all attendees safe and healthy. If you have any questions in advance, please
contact us
. Onsite, stop by and see us in the NAIS Information Booth in the main lobby.
