UPDATE REGARDING MASKING AND VACCINATIONS
We are committed to creating an event where our community, partners, staff and local workforce can have an enjoyable and successful experience, conduct business effectively and do all of this in safety and comfort. Please take a note of some new requirements and efforts we’ve made to ensure this. We will continue to update these as needed based on any changing requirements.
New AG International requires all in-person attendees to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19.
We will be making a visual in-person check of vaccination proof on site. We do not wish to transmit or store health data electronically, and so all checks will be done in person. This means we are unable to do this in advance. Proof of vaccination can be the vaccination card, a photo or photo-copy of the vaccination card, or a letter from a doctor confirming vaccination has taken place.
In line with local requirements, masks are not required. We encourage those who wish to wear them, based on personal risk profile and preferences, to do so.
The health and safety of our customers and staff remain our #1 priority. Our event has been organized in accordance with the CDC’s guidelines, Informa’s AllSecure Health and Safety standards and other local state and city regulations. Should you have any questions or issues regarding our policies, please contact info@newaginternational.com.
YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
The Farm to Fork Europe (part of Informa Connect) AllSecure standard is made up of four cornerstones:
- Physical Distancing
- Cleaning & Hygiene
- Protect & Detect
- Communications

Farm to Fork Europe AllSecure 10 Key Commitments
1. Enhanced cleaning
All New AG International/Ebic events will undertake enhanced, deep cleaning before, during and after our events, working with venue partners to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and cleanliness. This includes continuous sanitization throughout the course of an event, with a focus on high-touch areas such as door handles, restrooms and food and beverage areas.
2. Personal hygiene
All New AG International/Ebic events will provide additional hand washing facilities and hand sanitising stations throughout the event space, encouraging all participants to regularly wash and disinfect their hands.
3. Non-contact registration
All New AG International/Ebic events will employ a system that facilitates non-contact registration for participants, including the availability of online registration.
4. Physical contact
All New AgG International/Ebic events will request that participants avoid physical contact, such as handshakes and embraces, promoting alternative ways to greet business partners. The exchange of printed materials, such as business cards and sales brochures, will also be discouraged, with digital alternatives recommended.
5. Physical distancing
All New AG International/Ebic events will maintain a density of participants in line with local authority regulations and venue or other relevant guidance. This will be managed through one or more control measures such as pre-show communications to participants, a one-way traffic system around show floors, staggered entry times, on-site signage and floor markings and on-site social distance ambassadors.
6. Food and beverage
All New AG International/Ebic event teams will work closely with venue partners to employ the highest standard of food safety, minimizing self-service buffets in favor of pre-packaged food options. If any queuing is anticipated, social distancing will be maintained through the use of floor markings and relevant signage.
7. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Participants at all New AG International events will be asked to wear a face mask on entry. Further items of PPE, such as gloves and eye screens, will be used by participants and staff if appropriate, in line with local government and health authority advice.
8. First aid
All New AG International/Ebic events will have access to a qualified first aider and a separate quarantine area if possible. Participants will be asked not to attend if they are feeling unwell, and teams will follow local health authority guidance on detecting and managing anyone who displays symptoms of COVID-19.
9. Screening
All New AG International/Ebic events will follow relevant health authority guidance on screening participants. This may include checking the temperatures of everyone on entry, through thermal scanning or other screening processes.
10. Trace and contact
Should it be necessary, all New AG International/Ebic events will work with local authorities to trace and contact participants at our events, subject to local privacy regulations
