Covid-19 Policy

At Design Matters Tokyo, the safety measures regarding COVID-19 will be as follows.  This is based on the event measures determined by the Tokyo administration.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but please help us make this event a safe and comfortable place for everyone.

General Rules
– Please show your Proof of Vaccination or Negative PCR test before entrance
– We will measure your temperature and will require your to hand sanitize before entering the venue
– Other than eating or drinking, please wear masks at all times

Proof of Vaccination or Negative PCR test
At the moment, there are no restrictions for this type and size of event. However, to help prevent the spread of the virus, Design Matters will still require all participants to present proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test. If you do not have either or do not feel well (i.e. fever) we will take you to a room to do an antigen test before the entrance. Those with positive test results will not be allowed to join the event.

Hygienic measures
Hand sanitizer will be at everyone’s disposal in the spaces of the event. All participants will need to wear masks and keep them on as much as possible.

The rules
Do not show up if you have symptoms of illness and you have been in areas where there may be a potential risk of infection. We require that participants, speakers, and staff get tested for COVID-19 before attending the event if they have not received the vaccine yet.

We trust the sense of responsibility of the people taking part in the event to act in a way that doesn’t put others in danger. If you have taken a test, and you test positive for COVID-19, please do not attend the physical event (you can still get a Live Stream ticket and enjoy the conference!).

Please contact us at hello@designmatters.io if you have any questions.

Love,
The Design Matters Team
