Startup of the Year Summit attendees must register via CLEAR and show proof of either full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative PCR Test in order to pick up a Startup of the Year Summit badge.- “Full vaccination” is defined as 2 weeks after the 2nd dose of an mRNA vaccine or 2 weeks after a single dose of the J&J/Janssen vaccine. Boosters are not required but are strongly recommended.
- Negative PCR tests must have been taken no more than 48 hours prior to the start of the event.
