Do we need a VIP system for events and conferences moving forward?

VIP System

Looking for your next keynote speaker or workshop presentation?

With the removal of the mask mandate, capacity limits, and physical distancing for those vaccinated, how can we keep things safe for everyone?

I propose a three-tiered process using ribbons. The VIP system is simple. Events will ask for proof of vaccination or medical exemption going forward. Based on the response, a ribbon will be attached to your badge:

– For those who show their vaccination card, they’ll receive a light green ribbon that says VACCINATED

– For those with a written medical exemption (for example, organ recipients typically can not get vaccinated), they’ll receive a bright yellow ribbon that says IMMUNOCOMPROMISED

– For those who don’t provide either, they’ll receive a scarlet red ribbon that says PERSONAL CHOICE

I think the three ribbons of this VIP system should suffice. But if we want to entertain additional ribbons, I’m all for it. A couple of events I love are ribbon crazy. Shoutout to the National Speakers Association Influence and the American Marketing Association Leadership Summit.

What additional ribbons would be helpful?

– a black ribbon that says ANTI-VACCER

– a blue ribbon that says DEMOCRATIC HOAX

– a flag ribbon that says QANON SUPPORTER

Any other suggestions?
