The COVID-19 pandemic will be with us for the foreseeable future and no event will be completely risk-free. The SVRI Forum Organising Committee will be taking a risk-based approach to the hosting of the Forum and will ensure that we effectively manage and make informed decisions where there is a risk present.

Please see the SVRI Forum COVID-19 Information page.

Should the conference become too high risk to host the event, or travel and lockdown restrictions make it impossible to host the Forum face-to-face, the Organising Committee is costing and planning for three different scenarios:

we are costing out and planning for three different scenarios:

• Face to face event: Forum as we know and love. If the risk of COVID is still around, we will make every effort to keep delegates safe by adhering to strict COVID-19 measure such as the wearing of masks, sanitising and social distancing, following the guidelines set out by the Mexican government and the World Health Organization to curb the spread of the virus.
• Hybrid event: A smaller Mexico based/regional event held alongside a virtual Forum with webinars leading up to the Forum and a series of activities afterwards).
• Fully virtual event.
