Please know that our thoughts are with those affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We recognize the impact that COVID-19 is having, and will continue to have, on our SC community.
Your Health & Safety Is a Priority
The health and safety of the SC family – participants and volunteers alike – are our first priority.
We are working with our stakeholders to produce an event that will be every bit as creative, inspiring, and meaningful as past SC conferences.
We continue to closely monitor specific travel advisories through official channels, which include the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. State Department, as well as safety guidelines at the local, state, national, and international levels.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you in November. For those who prefer to attend virtually, a digital experience is offered.
If you have questions about our policies regarding COVID-19:
Before You Travel
Before traveling to the conference, we recommend that you stay informed of any information your local health agencies may make available and take reasonable precautions to protect yourself. IEEE continues to closely monitor this dynamic situation and will provide updates with any developments.
On-Site in Dallas
We are committed to following or exceeding regional jurisdiction guidelines and rules in maintaining a safe environment for our attendees.
We are working closely with the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas and surrounding venues hosting official SC22 programming to ensure there are sufficient medical processes in place and sanitation products readily available.
We will continue to provide timely updates as needed on this page and to registered attendees.
Instructions for Required Isolation
If you have symptoms of or tested positive for COVID during the conference, please do not attend the conference in person. Use the option to attend the conference virtually if you are able. We request you follow the CDC guidance on five (5) days of isolation after onset of symptoms or positive testing.
Attendees are responsible for all costs associated with any required isolation. Individuals may ask SC for assistance in extending the discounted conference rate at an SC hotel. If you ask for an extension of your hotel, please provide your name and hotel to: housing@info.supercomputing.org
Entry Requirements
Proof of Vaccination
(Updated August 24, 2022)
Proof of vaccination against COVID-19 is no longer a requirement for entry to SC22 in Dallas this fall. For complete details on this important development, please read this article in our blog.
Face Coverings
Masks – properly worn covering both nose and mouth – are strongly encouraged but, at this time, are not required. We will have a supply of KN-95 masks available to attendees during the conference.
