NBAA’s highest priority is the health and safety of all event participants. NBAA, the Orange County Convention Center and Orlando Executive Airport, in collaboration with medical and governmental authorities, may adopt health and safety protocols for 2022 NBAA-BACE. Any requirements for NBAA-BACE participants are subject to change and will be detailed on this page.

Face Coverings

Masks are not expected to be required at 2022 NBAA-BACE. However, guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that masks can help protect the wearer and others from COVID-19. Review CDC Use and Care of Masks.

Venue Safety

Important COVID-19 Information

COVID-19, a highly infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus, is currently classified as a pandemic by public health authorities. It is associated with severe symptoms including acute respiratory issues, severe damage to lungs and other organs and death. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person, and individuals over age 65 and people of any age who have certain underlying medical conditions are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. COVID-19 is not fully understood at this time, and understanding of the symptoms, risks and spread of the disease may change over time. Although NBAA will take all reasonable safety precautions to protect the health of participants, because thousands of attendees are expected, NBAA cannot guarantee that participants will not be exposed to COVID-19 during attendance at the event.

COVID-19 Liability Waiver/Assumption of Risk

All participants at 2022 NBAA-BACE acknowledge that their participation is completely voluntary and that they understand the dangers of COVID-19 and the risks of exposure described above. All participants further acknowledge that they assume all risks associated with COVID-19 in connection with attendance at 2022 NBAA-BACE, including risks to their own health and the health of others with whom they may come in contact during or after 2022 NBAA-BACE (“Assumed Risks”). Additionally, all participants at 2022 NBAA-BACE agree, on behalf of themselves, their heirs and assigns, and anyone who might assert a claim on their behalf, to release, indemnify and hold harmless NBAA, the 2022 NBAA-BACE venues, NBAA partners and their respective owners, directors, officers, employees, representatives, heirs and assigns from any and all liability, claims or causes of action that may be released under applicable law arising from or relating to the Assumed Risks. This release includes any claims for personal injury, disease, death, property loss or any other loss, including but not limited to claims of negligence and any right to seek damages.

Any person who attends an NBAA convention, conference, seminar or other program grants permission to NBAA, its employees and agents (collectively "NBAA") to record his or her visual/audio images, including, but not limited to, photographs, digital images, voices, sound or video recordings, audio clips, or accompanying written descriptions, and, without notifying such person, to use his or her name and such images for any purpose of NBAA, including advertisements for NBAA and its programs.
