2021 genYP Event Format Policy
In 2021, event hosts will be able to decide if they would like to host their events in-person and virtually, which we define as a hybrid event or virtual only. An email will be sent to you six weeks prior to your event asking you to provide your event format preference. We will also discuss the likelihood of a virtual-only required format due to positivity rates in Polk County. You will also be asked to choose one of the virtual marketing options, even if you are choosing the hybrid format. Having your virtual option on file will assist us to move forward in the event we are required to move to a virtual format due to any social distancing guidelines.
If you would like to host your event in-person (hybrid), you may do so as long as the Urbandale Chamber Board Policy, at the time of the scheduled event, allows for in-person gatherings. Please write "Hybrid" in the Special Instructions box below to indicate your preference to hold an in-person and virtual hybrid event.
Please note, if the Urbandale Chamber Board Policy dictates that events must be held virtually, the event will be taken virtual and registered guests will be notified.
Attendance for in-person events may have their maximum number of attendees limited based on social distancing requirements. A virtual option will also be available for attendees to meet our members where they are most comfortable.
If the company would like to hold their event virtually, please write "Virtual Event" in the Special Instructions box below. The Company may also indicate which Extra Virtual Event Perk they would like to have as a special benefit for virtual events.
