LARGE GATHERING COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS & SAFETY PLAN

CERTIFICATION FORM
“Large Gathering Certification”

The health and safety of Nevada’s workers, residents, and visitors remains the top priority. By completing this
Large Gathering Venue COVID-19 Preparedness & Safety Plan Certification Form (“Large Gathering
Certification”), event organizers and venues are certifying under penalty of perjury that their event, gathering,
meeting, convention or tradeshow will adhere to all required health protocols and provide for the safest
environment possible.

This Large Gathering Certification will help event sponsors prepare for a successful event and certify to the State
of Nevada that their event-specific operational plan is safe for staff and attendees.

All Large Gathering Certifications must be submitted to Nevada Department of Business and Industry (B&I).
Failure to complete all requested information and certify that all required mitigation measures will be
followed may result in the event being delayed, disapproved or closed. Upon receipt of a Large Gathering
Certification Form, B&I will consult with the appropriate state agencies, regulatory boards and commissions, and
state health officials as necessary for review and approval of the proposed large gathering. The approved
certification will be filed with the appropriate local jurisdiction. Local jurisdictions will have the primary
responsibility for enforcing compliance with the requirements outlined in this guidance and in the
certification form.

A venue or other facility may adopt additional safety measures that extend beyond the requirements below.
Under each section in the guide below, recommendations for additional mitigation measures are provided.

It is the responsibility of the event organizer to obtain any permits required by the local jurisdiction.

BASELINE STANDARD FOR GATHERINGS & EVENTS:

Limited to no more than 250 individuals or 50 percent of fire code capacity, whichever is less, under strict
social distancing requirements.

250+ PERSON GATHERINGS & EVENTS (updated via Directive 041—effective March 15):
If a gathering space or venue wants to host more than 250 individuals for an event, (live entertainment show,
gathering, convention, conference, trade show, etc.), it may have up to 50 percent of fire code capacity, so
long as the event organizer completes and submits a Large Gathering COVID-19 Preparedness & Safety Plan
Certification Form (“Large Gathering Certification”).
• The number of workers at a venue does not need to be included when considering occupant capacity for the purposes
of this guidance. Staff are required to ensure the successful implementation of these guidelines and the safety of

1
 participants. Therefore, staff do not contribute to the capacity limit. All staff must adhere to all social distancing
measures and guidance outlined in this document and any other guidance document specific to their employment.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Consider utilizing signage with easy to interpret graphics in commonly used languages reminding
everyone to maintain 6 feet of distance, wear masks, wash hands, etc.
• Remove or close games or activities that require or encourage congregating, sharing materials, or that
involve high-touch surfaces. This includes things like board or recreational games, bouncy houses, ball
pits, or amusement booths or rides at fairs.
• To the extent possible, close or limit the use of high-touch surfaces, including equipment, products,
exhibits, or other fixtures or items touched by attendees while in a venue.

SOCIAL DISTANCING: See attached Appendix E

[By checking a box below, you are certifying the requirement will be met]

☐ Traffic arrows or guides ☐ Queuing within venue ☐ Barriers at vendor booths

☐ Scheduled entry ☐ Posters ☐ Sections within venue

☐ PA reminders ☐ Pods within sections

CERTIFY THAT YOU WILL MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

[By checking a box below, you are certifying the requirement will be met]

☒ Ensure adequate distance is established between checkpoints (e.g., ticketing, security, medical) as to
ensure proper social distancing between individuals and minimize congestion of individuals waiting to
enter the venue.

Adequate distance prior to the Health Pass Checkpoint will be established. A diagram labeled Appendix
D has been attached to the submission. Once attendees have cleared the Health Pass checkpoint, each
additional checkpoint will adhere to standard configurations. See Appendix D for a diagram of the layout
and distances greater than 6’ for reference.

☐ For seated events, assign ushers, monitors, and/or security personal to maintain orderly seating and
unseating to maintain social distancing and minimize congestion.

EDC will create a safe environment to host full event capacity by verifying that each attendee or staff
member be either (i) fully vaccinated or (ii) have tested negative for COVID-19. See attached Appendix E
for additional details.

☐ Do not allow lines or crowds to form near the restrooms without maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet
from other individuals. Post signs or markers to help individuals maintain the appropriate social distance
of at least 6 feet.

EDC will create a safe environment to host full event capacity by verifying that each attendee or staff
member be either (i) fully vaccinated or (ii) have tested negative for COVID-19. See attached Appendix E

ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
• For venues with multiple event-times, stagger event times to minimize individuals from different events
arriving simultaneously and congregating with one another.
• Schedule arrival times for longer than their typical duration to minimize the congregation of individuals
waiting. Establish staggered admission-times, entry-times and durations to minimize overlap and
congregating of individuals at checkpoints (e.g., access points, security checkpoints, admission areas,
concession areas).
• Prescheduling individually assigned arrival times (e.g., seating furthest from entrances permitted to enter
earlier) is strongly recommended.
• Provide and assign “drop off” areas to allow for individuals within the same party (Pod) to be dropped off
at their designated entrance to the venue to minimize the number of individuals walking through parking
ramps, parking areas, sidewalks, and walk-ways.
• Enhance security protocols for entry to allow for more efficient security-checks of individuals, minimize
face-to-face interaction between security personnel and individuals, and minimize wait-times (e.g., metal-
detectors, scanners, transparent baggies for personal items, etc.)
• When groups of individuals are leaving a single venue, unseat individuals in an orderly fashion, starting
with those closest to the exit and ending with those farthest from the exit.
• Provide for additional exits and allow for individuals to exit the venue through the closest available exit
rather than a limited number of exits that create congestion and interfere with social distancing.
• Each individual area should maintain separate entrances and exits to avoid spaces being shared. If
separate entrances and exits cannot be achieved for each individual area, a venue should stagger the
entrance and exit times for individuals to avoid congregation, congestion, or bottlenecking that does not
allow for proper social distancing.
• Utilize multiple points of entry and exit when possible to prevent congestion and maintain physical
distancing.
• Delineate seating areas by limiting chairs, marking or taping seating or tabletop areas, or using
identifiable seat assignments.
• Keep aisle-seats and margins open as to ensure proper social distancing for seated individuals from
individuals and workers walking up and down aisles.

questions upon arrival and check-in and verify that they have read the screening-survey and can respond “no”
to all questions. See “NV COVID-19 Health Screening Guide"
☒ Disinfect high touch areas and equipment such as microphones, instruments, and props between uses.

☒ You will not allow Karaoke singing and open microphone events involving performances by individuals
and visitors.

15
 • Will your event include a meet and greet (backstage passes and after-show guests are granted access)?
☒ YES ☐ NO

☐ If yes, certify that groups of individuals must be limited to small groups of no more than 6, and
pathways and protocols must be preestablished to maintain social distancing between all individuals.
EDC will create a safe environment that does not require social distancing by verifying that each
attendee or staff member be either (i) fully vaccinated or (ii) have tested negative for COVID-19.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Consider installing a barrier or partition between the performance area and audience or other areas where
appropriate.
• Whenever possible, provide individual microphones for multiple speakers. If a microphone must be
shared, clean between speakers or leave it untouched on a stand.
• Limit the number of speakers and make arrangements to maintain distance from others.
• Avoid performance-related demonstrations, exercises, and activities that involve interaction between
workers and individuals that conflict with social-distancing practices.
• Extend intermission-times to reduce congestion in exits, corridors, restrooms, and concession areas.
• Give preference to outdoor rehearsals and performances.
• Consider limiting rehearsal times to 30 minutes or less to reduce the quantity and spread of aerosol
among the individuals involved.
• If possible, during a live performance, performers should stop for approximately 5 minutes after each 30-
minute segment to allow aerosolized particles to disperse.

“Ambient” or “Background” music is exempted from the “Live Entertainment” guidance

o For the purposes of this guidance, “ambient” or “background” music is music used to create or enhance a mood or
atmosphere that is incidental to the primary activity or location. It is intended to be an unobtrusive accompaniment to
the main activity, such as dining at a restaurant or walking through a venue.
Example 1: A pianist playing music in the reception area of a hotel while guests check-in.
Example 2: A singer performing at a restaurant while people dine.

BOOTHS OR VENDORS AT EVENTS / GATHERINGS:

Do you plan to have booths or vendors at your event or gathering? ☒ YES ☐ NO

If YES...

CERTIFY THAT YOU WILL MEET THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

[By checking a box below, you are certifying the requirement will be met]

☒ Allow spacing for vendor load-in and load-out such that vendors and staff can maintain a distance of at
least 6 feet from each other.

☐ Create a single line of booths instead of double rows. If this is not possible, create a thoroughfare between
the two sides with enough space to allow for a single file, one-way path down the middle.

EDC will create a safe environment to host full event capacity by verifying that each attendee or staff
member be either (i) fully vaccinated or (ii) have tested negative for COVID-19. See attached Appendix E
for additional details.

☐ Create one-way traffic flow through the booths to prevent crowding or mingling.

16
 EDC will create a safe environment to allow for two-way traffic flow by verifying that each attendee or
staff member be either (i) fully vaccinated or (ii) have tested negative for COVID-19. See attached
Appendix E for additional details.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Giveaway items, business cards, show bags and brochures are not recommended.
• In lieu of handouts and business cards, shows are encouraged to incorporate “touchless” scanning
technology that allows Exhibitors to scan attendee badges to provide more information digitally.
• Consider metering of individuals to limit congregation of crowds.
• Booth construction procedures should be addressed to maintain proper physical distancing.
• Use transparent barriers in booth design by all exhibitor and, where appropriate, other service elements
such as conference registration show management offices, general contractor service desks, and
marketplace dining.

 LARGE GATHERING COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS & SAFETY
PLAN CERTIFICATION FORM: APPENDIX E
Health Pass Plan: Vaccine and Testing Verification

OVERVIEW

Insomniac, a leader in live event health and safety management, with over 27 years’ experience
in safely producing live events, will implement a robust vaccine and testing requirement in lieu
of social distancing. Insomniac will create a tightly regulated “clean zone” where every
attendee/staff member will be verified by a health pass mobile application (“Health Pass”). The
Health Pass will serve multiple functions: identity verification, vaccine or test confirmation, and
prompt every user to complete a COVID-19 symptom questionnaire. Only those persons who
have successfully completed the aforementioned will receive a “green token” and be granted
access provided they have a valid ticket or credential.

HOW HEALTH PASS WORKS

The Health Pass application will be a required step for all entrants to EDC. Each user will first
need to successfully download the app and confirm their identity. The next step will prompt the
user to link either their vaccination record or lab test results, which are available through a
variety of partnerships. These include labs, at-home / rapid test kits, major retail pharmacies,
health systems, and state registries. The Health Pass is designed to give users access to their
health data and allow them to share this securely. Every user will use their own unique
credentials to consent to sharing only their COVID-related data. After granting consent, APIs are
used to receive COVID information through a completely secure and HIPAA-compliant network.

Prior to arrival at EDC, all ticket holders and staff will receive repeated messaging prior to the
event with instruction to complete the Health Pass application process. Checkpoints will be
located at all shuttle pick-up locations and at the venue at designated parking and drop-off
locations to validate that every entrant has a “green token”. Individuals with a “green token” will
be admitted entry. Anyone without a “green token” will be directed to a designated area where
they can obtain a rapid antigen COVID-19 test. No one will be allowed entry if they refuse to
comply with these strict requirements.

In addition to the above and unless otherwise directed by permitting authorities, all entrants will
be required to complete a COVID-19 symptom questionnaire and submit to a temperature
check prior to entering the event site.
HEALTH PASS CASE STUDIES

Health passes are deployed at hundreds of partners across Enterprise, Sports and Entertainment,
and Travel and Hospitality.

• All New York sports teams currently require the use of a health pass to confirm a vaccine
or negative COVID test result to access a sporting event within the city.

• NHL Finals Bubble in Canada

• 50 sports partners deploying across the NBA, NFL, MLS, NHL, and MLB

• Deployed Vaccine Validation at the Super Bowl in Tampa in 2021

• Deploying for all Tough Mudder/Spartan Races

• Airlines, including JetBlue, Lufthansa, United Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, and
Virgin Atlantic have begun using a digital health pass for vaccine and testing verification.

• Airports Council International, who represents around 2,000 airports worldwide, has
committed to integrate digital health pass technology.

Insomniac
Kickstarting the Safe and Responsible Return of Non-seated Live Events

1
Objective
Insomniac, a leader in live event health and safety management, has
produced live events for over 27 years. Each May, Insomniac and the Las
Vegas Motor Speedway open their doors for EDC Las Vegas (“EDC”), a
cultural phenomenon that celebrates music, art, and life. Throughout the
pandemic, Insomniac has successfully produced COVID-safe events around
the country, including for more than 350,000 people in Southern California
alone, working closely with local governments all along the way.

A central and necessary measure to the world’s recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic is trading the notion of social distancing for broad vaccination and
testing verification. With the event, tourism, and hospitality industries, key
components of Nevada’s economy, among the hardest hit from the COVID-19
pandemic, it is critical to reopen non-seated live events in a responsible
manner as soon as possible.

The country’s reopening continues to accelerate with COVID-19 vaccines

becoming available to more Americans in more categories and age groups on
a daily basis. The White House has directed all states to make every person
over the age of 16 eligible to be vaccinated by May 1, at which point all at-risk
individuals will have presumably been vaccinated, and several states have
either already made all adults eligible to be vaccinated or will do so by April 5,
including Nevada, Connecticut, Michigan, Alaska, Mississippi, and Utah. More
are expected to follow suit in the coming weeks.

The need to kickstart the event and hospitality industries combined with the
acceleration of vaccine distribution and Insomniac’s operational expertise
makes EDC, scheduled for May 21-23, 2021, the perfect candidate to lead the
safe return of large-scale non-seated live events.

Insomniac
Kickstarting the Safe and Responsible Return of Non-seated Live Events

Why is EDC the right event for the safe return of
large-scale non-seated live events?
Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, and Insomniac, the world’s
preeminent festival producer and leader in live event health and safety
management, are uniquely positioned to set the standard for the return of
large-scale non-seated live events nationwide with EDC. The positive effects
that will result from the safe and successful production of such a large event
cannot be understated. The economic and mental health benefits, in
conjunction with the encouragement of young adults to get vaccinated, will
make Nevada the clear leader in the responsible effort of getting back to
business.

How will EDC be produced safely?

Insomniac’s plan for EDC will create a tightly regulated “clean zone” where all
who enter have been verified by a health pass mobile application (“Health
Pass”) to either have been vaccinated or tested negative for COVID-19,
providing a safe kick-off for Las Vegas’ busy summer season, which will begin
the following week with over 300,000 people expected for Memorial Day
Weekend.

Outdoor Event + Clean Zone + Face Coverings = Low Risk

The following plan incorporates the recommendations of medical and industry

experts and aims to set the bar for the return of large-scale non-seated live
events nationwide.

Insomniac
Kickstarting the Safe and Responsible Return of Non-seated Live Events

3
How will the Health Pass work?
A Health Pass is a digital verification of health status specifically connected to
COVID-19 safety and eligibility to enjoy non-seated live events safely. The
Health Pass will be tied to a centralized database that aggregates vaccination
data from every state and testing data from tens of thousands of point-of-care
providers.

This verification will validate or invalidate each attendee’s and staff

member’s eligibility to enter the event. The eligibility for access
documented in the Health Pass will be set forth as follows:

an individual attending or working the event must either be (i)

fully vaccinated or (ii) have tested negative for COVID-19 via an
FDA-approved or emergency use authorized antigen test within
no more than 72 hours prior to arrival at the festival.

The Health Pass will default to displaying a “red token,” indicating

the individual is ineligible to access the event site.
Once the Health Pass receives information that the individual has
been vaccinated or obtained a negative COVID-19 test within the
designated timeframe, it will switch to displaying a “green token,”
indicating the individual is eligible to access the event site.
Additionally, each individual will have to respond to a health
questionnaire within the Health Pass that aims to identify any
symptoms connected to COVID-19 and whether there’s been any
contact with an infected individual.
Insomniac’s messaging campaign will encourage attendees to get
vaccinated or take a COVID-19 test and obtain a negative result at
a local testing center in their city of departure prior to leaving for Las
Vegas.

Insomniac
Kickstarting the Safe and Responsible Return of Non-seated Live Events

4
What happens when an attendee arrives at the festival or
attempts to board an EDC shuttle from one of the
designated shuttle stops?
All ticket holders will be required to pass through a health verification
checkpoint and show a “green token” via the Health Pass prior to entering the
“clean zone.” These checkpoints will be located at all shuttle pick-up locations
along the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, as well as at all parking
lot and drop-off locations surrounding the event circled below:

This requirement will be included in Insomniac’s messaging

campaign communicated to all attendees.
If an individual does not show a “green token” for access to the
event entrance, they will either be directed to a designated area on-
site for a rapid COVID-19 test or, if at a shuttle stop, instructed to
obtain a negative COVID-19 test. This process will be detailed
further in Insomniac’s comprehensive EDC Health and Safety Plan.

How are event staff and artists being handled?
Site Build/Strike

Completion of daily questionnaire within Health Pass regarding

symptoms and contact with any infected individuals.
Same standards as a construction site:
• Temperature checks will be performed prior to entering the
build site. Anyone who registers a temperature above 100.4
degrees Fahrenheit will not be eligible to enter the site and
will be subject to further health investigation to identify if they
are at risk of a COVID-19 infection.
• Staff will be required to wear face coverings as well as
distance from other workers as much as possible.
Clear guidance will be communicated to staff on the importance of
good hygiene as well as washing and sanitizing hands frequently.

Event Days

Completion of daily questionnaire within Health Pass regarding

symptoms and contact with any infected individuals
Upon arrival at the festival site, all staff will be required to show a
“green token” through the Health Pass that indicates vaccination or
a negative test within 72 hours of their first scheduled work shift.
Temperature checks will be performed prior to entering the festival
site.
All staff will be required to wear face coverings while on-site.
Face covering, hand washing/sanitizing, and general wellness and
hygiene guideline signage will be placed in all working locations.
No “buffet-style” catering. If catering is provided, each individual will
receive a catered boxed lunch.
COVID-19 rapid tests will be available on-site for any staff or artists
experiencing symptoms.

Outdoor events are safer.
Nooshin Razani, MD, MPD, director of the Center for Nature and Health and
the University of California, San Francisco Benioff Children’s Hospital in
Oakland, conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed papers indexed in
PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science, as well as preprints in Europe PMC
through Aug. 12, 2020, that described cases of human-to-human transmission
of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). The researchers included reports of other
respiratory virus transmission for reference.

Five studies in their analysis determined that less than 10% of

reported global SARS-CoV-2 infections have occurred outdoors and
that the odds of indoor transmission were 18.7 times higher in
comparison to outdoor transmission (95% CI, 6-57.9)
(https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33249484/).

The existing evidence supports the wide-held belief that risk of SARS-CoV-2
transmission is significantly lower outdoors. EDC will only offer outdoor
activities to attendees.

Outdoor Event + Clean Zone + Face Coverings = Low Risk

Insomniac

What other preventative steps will be taken?
Face Coverings/PPE

Every person on-site will be required to wear a mask that fully

covers both the nose and mouth, which will be checked prior to
reaching the entrance.
If someone does not have a mask, they will be provided with a
festival-branded face covering and reminded that they will be
expected to wear them at all times except while eating or drinking.
Should anyone inquire about further PPE (face shields, gloves,
etc.), they will be made available at information hubs around the
perimeter of the festival site.

Special Show Procedures

There will be an abundance of signage during the entry process, as

well as throughout the entire festival site, reminding all patrons of
good hygiene, hand washing/sanitizing, the wearing of masks, and
what to do if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
Stage screens will periodically run similar messaging between
performances throughout the event.
Experienced Insomniac staff members will actively approach
attendees on show days to emphasize the face mask policy.
Cleaning/sanitizing staff will be significantly increased to keep up
with cleaning demands throughout the festival site and will be
equipped with an EPA List N-approved disinfectant that meets the
criteria for use against COVID-19. This product will be used in all
restroom and office areas, as well as any high touch or high use
locations around the site. High touch point areas will have increased
frequency cleaning schedules.

On-site Rapid Tests Available

The rapid COVID-19 tests will take approximately 5 minutes to administer.

The test results will then be available within 15 minutes.

Cashless Transactions

With no cash, credit/debit cards, or pin terminals exchanging hands, we will

create a safer, quicker, and more hygienic transaction for all involved.

Insomniac

 Additional Capacity

Currently approved for 200,000 people based on exiting

requirements, but only expecting 180,000 attendees (90% of
capacity)
Heavily trafficked areas have been expanded by 16%

COVID-19 Scent Detection Canines

Insomniac is closely monitoring the ongoing studies around the

country on the effectiveness of COVID-19 scent detection canines.
If these studies conclusively determine that scent detection canines
are effective in detecting COVID-19, Insomniac will employ these
canines at all entrances to search patrons as an additional line of
defense.
In the event these canines are used at the event, they would be
employed as follows:
• If a canine alerts to a patron, the patron will be escorted to an
isolation area where a second canine will search them. If
both canines alert to the patron, a medical team member will
administer a COVID-19 test on-site. If the patron tests
positive, they will be required to leave the site and either (i)
return home for quarantine or (ii) go to a predetermined
quarantine location if the attendee has traveled from out of
town.

What happens if a patron arrives at a First Aid station on-
site complaining of COVID-19 symptoms?
A member of the medical staff wearing the appropriate PPE in accordance
with CDC guidelines will ask the patron if they are displaying any of the
following COVID-19 symptoms:

Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting

If it is determined the patron is displaying any of the above symptoms, they

will be administered a COVID-19 rapid test on-site in the nearest isolation
area to mitigate the risk of spread as a precaution. Medical staff will adhere to
strict CDC guidelines throughout this process. Nine isolated safety locations
will be strategically located throughout the venue and each shuttle stop
location will have its own specified area.

Benefits of Plan
EDC is one of the largest single-event drivers of economic output in
the State of Nevada with an impact of over $300 million annually
while generating $90 million in wages and salaries for Nevada’s
workforce, per the EDC Las Vegas Economic Impact Analysis 2019
conducted by Hobbs, Ong & Associates and Applied Analysis.

Encourages young adults to get vaccinated, which is crucial to the

reopening of the country. Insomniac reaches millions of young
adults every day via its social media channels.

Sets in motion a clear interim process for the return of non-seated

live events, which will kickstart the tourism and hospitality industries
in which the State of Nevada has a significant interest.

Proves once again that Nevada is the true leader of the

entertainment industry and sets the standard for the rest of the
country.

40% of U.S. adults reported struggling with mental health or

substance abuse since the pandemic (Mental Health, Substance
Abuse, and Suicidal Ideation During the COVID-19 Pandemic,
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm). The
return of live events such as EDC represent the return to “normalcy”
that is needed to remedy society’s overall wellbeing.

Treasure trove of data from a large-scale “clean zone” will be

instructive for the rest of the world.
