Travel Advisories
The safety and security of all attendees at our event is our top priority. We are aware of the current situation in Paris and the U.S. Embassy’s advice for U.S. citizens to avoid demonstrations and areas with increased police activity, and to monitor local news outlets such as France 24, RFI, and The Local for updates. If you reside outside of the U.S., please check the guidance from your local authorities.
The event venue is located 7km from current protest sights, but please be advised that the locations of protests are not always known in advance, so it is important to stay informed about the latest developments. We encourage all attendees to exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings at all times.
In the event of any safety concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We have plans in place to respond to emergencies and are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all attendees. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
