Learn more about health and safety at CRN's events, registration rates, and booking your accommodations.
CRN takes the safety of all attendees seriously. Please respect your fellow attendees. CRN requests that everyone wear masks during all indoor events. Orange County ordinance requires you to wear a mask in all indoor public settings if you are unvaccinated. CRN has set up meeting rooms with social distancing in mind and is providing outdoor space for eating/drinking and networking. Let’s all mask up for one another!
