Know Before You Show

Welcome To The Grace Hopper Celebration 2022 Experience

Just like you, we’re looking forward to every moment of speakers, sessions, sponsors, and networking at GHC 22. To help you prepare, we are sending a series of Know Before You Show communications that contain valuable pre-event information and checklists to help you make the most of the experience.

These GHC 22 communications contain critical Health and Safety information and other policies that you need to know. Please review carefully as it outlines what you’ll need to do before attending GHC 22.

Prepare for Using the CLEAR App Now 

Using the CLEAR App is required to confirm your COVID Clearance.  If you haven’t read the CLEAR App information yet, now would be the time. By completing as much of this process now, you’ll make sure you’re in compliance with our Health and Safety Policy and save time picking up your badge.  There are some special instructions for our International Attendees, so please read carefully.

To procure your badge and enter the GHC 22 Event In-Person, Attendees will be required to use the CLEAR app to verify COVID status. The CLEAR app will be used to confirm your compliance with our COVID policies. A passing “GREEN” indicator will serve as your proof of vaccination OR a negative PCR COVID-19 test administered within the 48 hours prior to the 1:00 pm ET, September 19 opening of onsite registration. No self-administered tests, including home PCR tests, will be accepted.
