-## Public Health and Safety

-Normally, this isn't a concern but a global pandemic has pushed this point front and center. I expect some form of vaccination or certification of negative test results by all attendees. Temperature checks should be instituted at all entry points for your event. I also expect your [Code of Conduct](#code-of-conduct) to protect those taking extra precautions against COVID-19

 ## Cancellations
 
 Cancelling a speaking engagement is something I try very, very hard to avoid. I try very hard not to submit CFPs to events I know I'll have trouble attending. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to cancel a talk (and I've had some pretty wild circumstances leading to those). I always suggest someone to replace me if I do have to cancel to discuss a topic in a similar vein. If you want me specifically and something has come up preventing my travel or ability to participate live, I will, at your request, pre-record talks. However, I prefer to give them live whenever possible.
