Protecting Your Safety and Health at Advanced Manufacturing Minneapolis

#DiscoverEngineerBuild

Enhanced Health & Safety Protocols.

Conduct business, effectively, safely and with confidence following best practice standards and guidelines.

Health & Safety are a top priority at Advanced Manufacturing Minneapolis, bringing together MD&M, ATX, Design & Manufacturing, MinnPack, and Plastec, and hosted and managed by Informa Markets—Engineering. Informa has collaborated with association partners, peers, venues, suppliers, contractors and health, government, and local authorities to develop industry-wide All Secure standards that raise the bar on safe, hygienic, productive and high-quality organized event experiences.

The event continues to prioritize the health and safety of all guests by adhering to CDC and local government guidance. Read on to see how the event’s Health & Safety actions aim to create a safe and successful event.

As needs around Health & Safety evolve, this page will be updated to reflect current requirements. We appreciate your patience as we adapt our policies to meet expert guidance and keep our visitors, partners, and staff safe.

Face Coverings/Masks
Masks are optional for visitors to the Minneapolis Convention Center and this event. Masks or face coverings are not required in the city of Minneapolis. Individual organizations, businesses and venues may still institute specific mask and/or vaccine/testing mandates.

Vaccinations
Proof of vaccination is not required to attend or exhibit at this event. To the venue’s staff, the MCC has implemented a multi-layered approach to manage the health and safety of its team members, requiring daily self-screening, masking, and weekly testing and/or vaccination for all MCC employees.

Cleaning & Disinfecting
The MCC is an accredited GBAC STAR™ facility and has implemented the most stringent protocols for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention. The MCC has increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting with EPA-approved disinfectants in all public and private spaces with an emphasis on high touchpoint areas and has incorporated new technology such as Electrostatic Disinfecting Machines.

Airflow
The majority of all meeting rooms are equipped with Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization which works by safely introducing ions into the airflow, combining with particles in the air such as viruses, bacteria, odors, and other airborne particles, and then eliminating or neutralizing them. Other meeting room spaces utilize hospital-grade MERV 13 filters. All of our spaces are flushed with outside air before and after use. Engineers monitor all occupied spaces and maximize the use of outside air.

Security
Event name badges are required at all times. No one is permitted to enter the event without first showing identification to pick up a badge. The MCC’s Command Center is centrally located on Level One of the building to provide guests with convenient access and efficient response times. With more than 100 security cameras, the venue monitors all areas of the building 24/7. 

Current Health & Safety information from the convention center can be found here.

Current Health & Safety information specific to the State of Minnesota and City of Minneapolis, including hotel, airport, mass transit, restaurant and bar, and other local area information, can be found here.

All of the above measures will be evaluated as the event approaches to determine if any changes are necessary to meet guidance and regulations. Please check back here for continuous updates regarding Health & Safety measures. This page was updated on April 1, 2023.
