Event Organizers

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it’s possible for the coronavirus to spread through touching an infected surface. Now more than ever, a clean event space matters. Here are guidelines to help keep yourself and others safe at your event.

Standard Cleaning Protocol

All vendors are required to do the following prior to each booking.

  • Clean any equipment that will be brought to the event

  • Supply any hand towels and/or disposable eatery, if applicable

  • Disinfect high touch surfaces and shared amenities during the event

  • Bring protective gear and sanitizing sprays/wipes/products

  • Put up sneeze guards or screens, if applicable

  • Post signage about physical distance

COVID-19 Event Advice Guide

We used recommendations from the CDC to compile a list of additional precautions event organizers can take to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

  • Limit guest count based on state and local capacity guidelines

  • Book a space that follow CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting between every booking

  • Disinfect high touch surfaces and shared amenities with EPA-approved products

  • Provide a supply of disinfecting wipes, disposable gloves, or disposable masks for your attendees

  • Reconfigure the space or add markers for physical distancing

  • Post signage or messages about behaviors that prevent spread of COVID-19 for the staff, vendors, and attendees (such as on the event website, through event social media accounts, at the event space, etc.).

Communicate with Vendors

Vendors have the ability to add details about how they clean their work spaces and what cleaning amenities they can provide at your event. Make sure to keep in contact about what you will bring for your guests and what they will do to ensure a clean and safe event space.

Protecting yourself during a booking

According to the CDC, the coronavirus mainly spreads through person-to-person contact. Here’s how you can limit your exposure during your booking.

Practice Social Distancing

Stay at least six feet apart from anyone you do not live with.

Open Windows and Doors

Outdoor air ventilation can help minimize risk--if there’s an outdoor space, stay outside if you can.

Wear a Mask

All attendees should wear a mask that covers both their nose and mouth while indoors or in close proximity to one another.

Wash Your Hands Frequently

Use warm water and soap and wash for at least twenty seconds. If water and soap are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

FAQs

How can I find vendors that are taking additional measures?

You’ll find which additional measures the vendor is taking on their listing page. If you can't see any info on their listing, make sure to message them.

Who’s responsible for providing personal protective gear?

To ensure the safety of every individual, we ask that you be responsible for your own face mask. Some vendors may provide sanitizers and disposable eatery, and it will be noted on their listing.

What can my attendees and I do to stay safe during a booking?

Wear a mask, increase outdoor air flow, maintain physical distance, and wash your hands. You can see more details in our guidelines above.

What should I do if I think that something I booked hasn’t been cleaned?

Make sure to document the condition of the rentals/equipment and reach out to support@eventors.com no later than 72 hours after your booking start time.
