Event Safety and Responsibility
The MMA manages its in-person events with the health, safety, and well-being of its members, staff, presenters, exhibitors, sponsors, and speakers in mind. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, staff, service providers, and others are expected to abide by our code of conduct, and all policies in effect for any MMA event.
We will continue to monitor and update safety precautions for all of our events regularly and coordinate with trusted national resources, state and local public health agencies, and the venues hosting our events.
In all cases, we will continue to assess the risks in the area local to the event and the current status in Minnesota. We reserve the right to modify these policies and procedures at any time given the rapidly changing nature of the current global pandemic. At this time, we will provide updates in bold below so that participants know when items have been updated.
