   @alienghic @craigmaloney @skyfaller @onepict @smallcircles @strypey I would really like to see a standard "conference/event public health report card" that we could look up for any particular event before deciding to go

     I'd go further and say that just because this initiative was started in tech, there's no reason why other fields can't consider fighting for public health and safety at Events. The need for robust public health policies that enable more inclusive events is universal.

     Well we do have a form of event badging, it's what the @phpledge is doing.

     @josh has been working on advising events like #fossy and @NorthBayPython and helping with making a Robust Health Policy.

     If we can encourage more events to sign up to the pledge it's safer and more inclusive for everyone.

     @elplatt indeed, but until our authorities do more to enforce it's all we have.

     Much like the fight for COCs it takes public pressure.

     Which is why on occasion there are folks who have signed the pledge ask events to create a robust public health policy. @SeaGL are one of the upcoming conferences that do have a robust public health policy.

     @onepict That would be nice, but I don't think we can count on the events to do it themselves. Most of the conferences in my field won't even do the bare minimum like require proof of vax
