By attending the 2022 ReYOUnion Annual Conference, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.

The safety and well-being of our members, attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors is always our number one priority. Vaccination against COVID-19 is required and will be verified at check-in.
