Your health and safety are our top priority.

We are excited to come together again after two years and everyone’s safety is our top priority!

Be assured that the AATA 2022 Annual Conference will be held in a wholly safe and clean environment – See Hyatt’s Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment here. We want you to feel completely confident about your decision to join us. We’re carefully tracking all of the latest health and safety guidance for large group gatherings from the Minnesota Department of Health. As we draw closer to the conference, we will publish additional guidelines for the conference. At this time, we are not requiring proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test results for attendance. If the situation changes, revisions will be made and announced.
