At Amcal and Guardian, the well-being of our Franchise and Supplier Partners, their team members, contractors and employees is our top priority, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to keep our business events safe and successful. For this reason, we are taking the necessary steps to minimise risk and enhance safety for all our attendees.

In anticipation of our conference, we have reviewed all areas of our event and a detailed plan is currently in place, from the arrival experience of the registration process, our Sponsors Trade area setup and presentation areas, as well as our catering and networking activities.

Our business events will be held in venues that are committed to the well-being of our delegates and sponsor partners and are adhering to the latest health and safety regulations set down by both State and National Government bodies at the time of the event.

All event spaces at the conference have been reviewed and where needed, larger spaces have been secured to make certain that the necessary social distancing can be applied. We have sourced the necessary quantities of individual hygiene products for all delegates like hand sanitisers.

A comprehensive plan has been discussed with the venue to ensure an appropriate cleaning and sterilisation strategy is employed.
