Safety Tips

ATA has partnered with local law enforcement and private security to create a safe conference environment. Here are tips for what you can do to keep yourself safe.

  1. Remember that we are in an urban area and the hotel is open to the public. Do not leave your bags or electronic devices unattended in meeting rooms or in public areas of the hotel.
  2. Keep your valuables (passport, devices, etc.) in the hotel safe in your room.
  3. You must wear your badge throughout the conference space. This includes breakfast, the Exhibit Hall, and all sessions and events in the hotel.
  4. If you leave the hotel, stay in a group. Remove your conference badge so you don’t stand out as a tourist. Maintain situational awareness and pay attention to your surroundings.
  5. Ask the hotel front desk about security and walking in the area around the hotel.
  6. If you need an urgent care facility or a pharmacy, visit the hotel concierge or ATA Registration in the Grand Ballroom Foyer, Lower Level.
  7. Whether in a meeting room or your hotel room, be aware of the nearest exit in case of an emergency.
  8. In case of an emergency, call 911.

ATA is proud of our diverse membership, and we strive to cultivate an inclusive and welcoming experience for all attendees. All participants—including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, sponsors, staff, and service providers—are expected to abide by the ATA Conduct Policy. ATA has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination, harassment, or other unacceptable behavior.

If you experience or become aware of any incident of unacceptable behavior, please contact any of the following:

  • ATA Staff, located at ATA Registration in the Grand Ballroom Foyer, Lower Level
  • Hotel Security, dial 4898 from any hotel house phone.
