ATA64: Safety Tips

1. Please remember that we are in an urban area and the hotel is open to the public.  Do not leave your bags or electronic devices unattended in meeting rooms or in public areas of the hotel.
2. Keep your valuables (passport, devices, etc.) in the hotel safe in your room.
3. Remember that you must wear your badge throughout the conference spaces.  This includes breakfast, the Exhibit Hall, all sessions and events, the Welcome Celebration, Annual Meeting of All Members, Annual Meeting of Voting Members, and at the after-hours events in the hotel.  If you are an ATA member and plan to attend the Board meeting on Sunday, you must check in with ATA Executive Director, Kelli Baxter before you sit down.
4. If you leave the hotel, go in a group.  Take off your conference badge so you don’t stand out as a tourist.  Please be sure to have some situational awareness and pay attention to your surroundings.
5. You can also ask the front desk for more information about security and walking in the area around the
   hotel.
6. Our health and safety guidelines, including what to do if you feel sick, are in the FAQs section of the app
   and on the conference website.  If you need an urgent care facility or a pharmacy, please ask at the
   concierge desk or the hospitality table of ATA64’s official host group, the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Florida (Lower Promenade - Terrace Level).
7. Whether in the meeting room or your hotel room, be aware of the nearest exits in case of an emergency.
8. In case of an emergency, please call 911.
