Minneapolis Convention Center Receives
GBAC STAR Accreditation
The Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC) has achieved the prestigious GBAC STAR facility accreditation. Under the guidance of the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), the MCC has implemented the most stringent protocols for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention.
To achieve GBAC STAR accreditation, the MCC demonstrated compliance with the program’s 20 core elements, which range from standard operating procedures and risk assessment strategies to personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness and response measures.
As the cleaning industry’s only outbreak prevention, response and recovery accreditation, GBAC STAR provides third-party validation to ensure the implementation of rigorous protocols in response to biorisk situations. Focused on ensuring a clean, safe and healthy environment, the program establishes requirements to assist venues by providing best practices, protocols and procedures to control risks associated with the COVID-19 virus.
The Advanced Manufacturing Minneapolis will be implementing an enhanced set of safety measures this year. Developed in collaboration with esteemed industry associations, partners, peers, and venue partners, Informa Allsecure will provide everyone with reassurance and confidence that they are participating in a safe and controlled environment.
Rest assured we'll continue to follow official government and local authority guidance, as well as any venue or location-specific regulations. To find out more about the Informa Allsecure safety measures, click here.

Understanding the CARES ActWe at the Advanced Manufacturing Minneapolis understand the federal shutdown of non-essential operations currently in place to combat the spread of COVID-19 has many businesses experiencing economic stress. To support our community and simplify the process of securing financial support, we’ve developed a CARES Act FAQ that breaks down the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), and provisions of the $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act stimulus that lawmakers approved in March 2020.
The initial $360 billion allocated for small businesses was depleted in a matter of weeks, helping more than 1.6 million businesses remain in operation. On April 23, 2020, the House of Representatives approved a bill to replenish the program with $484 billion—$310 billion of which is apportioned to support small businesses, broken down between two types of loans, PPP, and EIDL.
We are dedicated to supporting our community throughout this challenging time. Please refer to the FAQ for the most up to date information pertaining to COVID-19 and economic relief.
Please note, we do not claim to be experts on the CARES Act; the FAQ was developed to the best of our ability with the resources available. We at the MD&M West strongly urge all businesses and individuals interested in securing a loan as a part of the Paycheck Protection Plan (PPP) to consult our “Resource Center” found at the bottom of the FAQ to fully understand how a loan, if eligible, would impact your unique business.
