Proof of COVID Vaccination or Negative Test Required to Attend

Safety, security and health are a priority at Quirk’s. For the 2022 Quirk’s Chicago Event, we will require all in-person attendees to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test taken within 72 hours. This decision was made in order to comply with changing government regulations and venue requirements.

As of February 28:

Vaccination requirement has been lifted in dining, fitness, and event/entertainment venues – however, Quirk’s is still requiring proof of vaccination (or negative COVID-19 test)

What is Quirk’s doing to ensure a safe event?

Quirk’s is thrilled to offer another year of safe, in-person events once again. While COVID-19 is still present, we recognize that increased safety measures are necessary in order to ensure a safe and engaging event. Here are a few of the ways we are coordinating with the event venue and attendees to safely kick-off 2022 in-person events.

Checking In

Quirk’s is working to make the check-in process as safe as possible by:

Reducing person-to-person contact with touchless registration
Offering early check-in times
Requiring social distancing in line*
Placing direction markers*
Providing masks*

During the Event

We understand the importance of constantly managing social distancing and cleaning, and we will stay on top of this during the event in the following ways:

Sanitizing surfaces before event
Employing disinfection team to clean high-touch surfaces during event
Hand sanitizer stations will be provided in various locations throughout the venue for easy access
Prevent overcrowding by regulating capacity using digital, real-time monitoring of audience
Ensuring session rooms do not exceed safe capacity
Enabling touchless contact exchange and exhibitor interaction with Klik smart badges
Employing food and beverage staff trained in COVID-19 prevention measures*

The Big Picture

Ultimately, there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 with any public gathering. While Quirk’s and the event venue are taking your safety and that of our staff very seriously by employing new COVID-19 safety protocols, best practices and sanitation initiatives, we cannot guarantee that these measures will completely protect you from contracting COVID-19. The best way to have a safe event is for everyone to be diligent about their own personal safety both inside the event and in the city at large.
