PLEASE NOTE: COVID-19 PRECAUTION

SLR requests that meeting attendees provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test. The COVID-19 test can either be rapid or PCR, but must be taken within 72 hours prior to arrival at the meeting. These documents can be shown at the SLR registration desk, or emailed to Shaliah in advance of the meeting. If either form of requested documentation is NOT submitted, SLR will request that those guests wear a mask while inside all meeting rooms when social distancing cannot be achieved. Read more about SLR's COVID-19 precautions in the COVID-19 Code of Conduct.

Eden Roc hotel staff are required to wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status, while hotel guests may do so at their own discretion. SLR members, clients, and guests are encouraged to use their best judgement when deciding to mask.
