Health & Safety Guidelines

Personal Health and Safety are of extreme importance to BGG Events and while we take care to handle some things, most aspects are related to personal choices and how they affect others.

We respectfully request the following guidelines:

Take Care of Yourself - Eat, Sleep, Hydrate regularly and if you need some downtime, take it.

The current, slightly tongue-in-cheek, convention wisdom is the 3-2-1 Rule - 3 hours of sleep per day, 2 meals per day, and 1 shower per day at a minimum.

Health Concerns - You and your doctor are the best judges of how best to participate among people based on your current health and wellness, however, if your issues have potential to impact other attendees, we ask you to take precautions to respect others ability to participate, such as the following:

• Respect the personal choices of those around you. We will not tolerate harassment of any kind, and this now explicitly includes the choice to wear or not wear a mask. If you feel another attendee is not following required policies, seek out a member of TeamGeek rather than engaging directly.
• Do not attend BGG Events if you are sick. If there is any chance you have anything contagious, whether it be a cold, the flu, a stomach bug, whatever, don’t come.
• If you become ill during the event, please isolate until you feel better, or go home.
• BGG Events will follow any mandated health and safety guidelines enacted by local, state and federal governments.
• If specific guidelines are to be enacted, we will list them here and notify all attendees by the email address attached to the badge.

Pay Attention to your surroundings - Be aware of the time of day/night, who you are with, where exits are, etc.

The Hyatt Regency Dallas is located just southwest of downtown Dallas, jointly with Reunion Tower. There may be many additional people walking in an out of the hotel at all times of the day/night that may not be related to our convention. Please be watchful of your surroundings and who is nearby.

Safety relates not only to the people not associated with the convention, but also with the attendees. Per the Code of Conduct, if you are with an attendee that you feel uncomfortable with, please let a member of Team Geek (light gray jersey) or a BGG Staff member (orange jersey) know.

Ask for Help - If you need assistance, ask.

If you need help, please reach out to a member of Team Geek (light gray jersey) or a BGG Staff Member (orange jersey) and we will be happy to assist.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us game responsibly together.
