Health & Well-Being

As the world adapts to the new normal and we return to in-person events, the health and well-being of the Smarter Services Executive Symposium attendees remains our top priority. By working closely with JW Marriott in Chicago and Federal, State and Local public health officials, we will incorporate current best practices to provide you with the best level of protection at the Smarter Services Executive Symposium next September.

Our expectation is that we will all practice protocols that reflect a ‘spirit of respect and care’ for our Service Council community throughout the event. SC will continue to actively monitor local, state, and federal guidelines and we may further adjust our well-being protocols if local conditions change as we get closer to the event.

Here are 3 ways we’re protecting your wellness:

Partnering with JW Marriott to maintain their COVID-19 protocols while onsite including access control, protocol signage, sanitizing stations, protective shields at the front desk and reimagined food and beverage stations.

Collaborating with our contractors and the exhibitor and sponsor community to ensure everyone receives training on personal hygiene guidelines and response/recovery protocols related to suspected/confirmed cases of COVID.

Continuing to seek expert advice on up-to-the-moment health and safety direction from the WHO, the CDC, State and Local public health authorities, and recognized health and safety experts.
