We will monitor the evolvement of COVID-19 very closely over the next few months as the health and safety of exhibitors, attendees, support staff and convention center employees are our number 1 priority. The Atlanta Shoe Market management will closely follow COVID-19 preparedness and evolving safety guidelines developed by the Cobb Galleria Convention Centre, the city of Atlanta and public health authorities.

 The safety plan currently includes:

• Health department approval and input required for large events
• Temperature and health screenings
• Face coverings in common areas and event spaces
• Limited and designated entry and exit doors
• One-way travel markers in hallways and corridors
• Additional hand-sanitizing stations
• 24/7 air circulation and hospital-grade air filters
• Plexiglass shields at all service areas.  Plexiglass shields are also available for rental for each booth.
• Modified food service policies, including cashless and touchless point of sale, in subsequent stages (when allowed)
• Enhanced training on COVID-19 related practices and protocols for all staff
