FINRA’s Advertising Regulation Conference offers a comprehensive agenda designed for new and experienced communications compliance professionals. Industry and regulatory speakers facilitate interactive, forward-looking discussions on current practices, policies, priorities and rulemaking. The conference also provides the opportunity to network with industry peers and meet one-on-one with Advertising Regulation Department staff during office hours and throughout the event.

Important Pre-Event Information
COVID-19 Requirements for In-person Attendees – Proof of Vaccination and a Negative Test Required:
As of April 5, 2022
Registration for in-person attendance (as opposed to virtual attendance) at FINRA events requires proof that registrants are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Upon arrival at the conference site, each individual must complete a health questionnaire and attest to testing negative to a rapid antigen COVID-19 test taken no more than 24 hours prior to the start of the conference.
Health and Safety:
FINRA will closely follow guidelines and recommendations from the CDC as well as from state and local officials when establishing minimum health and safety requirements for our events. FINRA’s requirements may exceed the minimum guidelines or recommendations of government entities.
Optional Masks:
In light of the CDC’s recently updated guidance on mask wearing, we are making it optional to wear masks at FINRA conferences. However, we encourage attendees to wear a mask if they are, or someone in their home is, immunocompromised or at high risk for severe illness, or if they have a child who is 4 years of age or younger and thus is currently ineligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. We may implement a mask requirement as health and safety conditions dictate.
Physical Distancing:
While many venues are not currently requiring physical distancing, FINRA will provide physically distant seating and event space set-up to allow individuals who wish to physically distance while in sessions to do so comfortably. Additionally, to help attendees communicate their level of comfort in interacting with one another, FINRA will provide all attendees with their choice color coded bracelets (shown below) to represent each attendee’s choice of contact:
Red – Greet from 6 feet
Yellow – Elbows only
Green – Handshakes and high-fives
Accommodations
A room block is available at the Capital Hilton at the special room rate of $339 per night, plus tax. The rate is available until September 28, 2022, or until the room block is sold out.
