The Midwest Clinic Board of Directors and staff are excited to continue making plans for our 75th Anniversary conference, December 15 – 18, 2021. In light of the current uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, we wanted to send an update regarding the status of our event as well as the steps we are taking to ensure the best possible in-person experience for our attendees, clinicians, musicians, and staff.
It goes without saying that the music education industry is one best-served in-person. Virtual interactions simply cannot replace the connections made and conversations had. We are grateful for all of the virtual resources that helped us get through the last year-and-a-half, but we feel strongly that live events need to resume. Barring a state or city mandate requiring us to cancel our live event, we will have an in-person conference in December.
McCormick Place and the City of Chicago have gone to great lengths to address the health and safety concerns for conference and event attendees. For a complete guide to all of the facility updates and sanitizing protocols instated by McCormick Place, please visit its Healthy Meetings website. McCormick Place has also received a GBAC Star Accreditation, the gold-standard for outbreak prevention, response, and recovery in the cleaning industry.
