Your Safety is Our Top Priority

To ensure maximum safety, AABC has instituted a mandatory testing policy for AABC Europe 2022 – all attendees, exhibitors, speakers and staff must have a negative COVID test within 24 hours of attending in person.

Attendees that cannot participate because of this policy, or due to travel restrictions, are encouraged to participate using our highly praised virtual event platform. Our virtual events are designed to provide you with an in-person experience at your convenience, anywhere, anytime.


Masking Requirements
AABC is working closely with the conference facilities to ensure a safe conference environment. We will follow all local government guidelines, which may include mask requirements and/or social distancing.
