The Javits Center allows for appropriate density management and distancing measures and is among the safest venues in the country with GBAC accreditation. As a result, we will not be limiting attendance numbers, but will implement widened aisles and manage flow to keep participants safe.

The Javits Center is among the safest venues in the country, featuring Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR accreditation which is a gold standard of prepared facilities and demonstrates their commitment to the highest standards in cleaning and sanitization. In addition, the Javits Center has installed hospital-grade, High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to improve filtration, with the entire volume of air in the venue exchanged five times a day.
