Additional Guidance for All Events 

Attendance Record 

It is recommended that the event planner keep an attendance sheet with enough contact information for each attendee to facilitate contact tracing, should it become necessary after the event. Access a fillable attendee sheet here. 

Room Capacity

Occupancy limit is determined by the number of seats dictated by the furniture arrangement or the Fire Marshal occupancy limit posted outside each venue, whichever is smaller. 

The number of attendees is calculated as the maximum number of persons in the room at any one time and includes service and support staff who may be present to work at the event. 

To meet 50 percent capacity, the number of attendees shall be no more than 50 percent of occupancy limit.
