After 18 months of isolation, we are eager to convene in person, as we reimagine our roles in creating meaningful, purpose-driven content in a media landscape that is more important than ever, finding inspiration and pushing boundaries as we engage the world to action.

Jackson Wild is committed to create a COVID-safe environment during the Summit. While Wyoming has a current vaccination rate just under 40%, Jackson Hole is more than 80% vaccinated, and anyone above 18 can simply walk in for free Pfizer or Moderna doses.
In addition to closely complying with all local, state and federal guidelines, we are taking additional measures to create the safest possible Summit experience.

To attend the 2021 Summit, you must understand and agree to the below terms and precautions that Jackson Wild is taking.

We have taken enhanced health and safety measures for you, our staff and volunteers. By registering for the Summit, you must follow all posted instructions while attending the event, and you must adhere to the following requirements:

1. Vaccination requirement: For the in-person portion of the Jackson Wild Summit, Jackson Wild will be adopting a “Vaccination required” approach for all in attendance. This means that all delegates, staff, volunteers and fellows will have to provide verification of full vaccination in order to gain access to the in-person Summit. You are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after your second dose in a two-shot series like Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine such as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. We understand that being fully vaccinated may not be possible for everyone for various reasons and have come to this decision with great difficulty. As one of the first in-person events since the onset of COVID19, we appreciate your understanding as we navigate making this event as low risk as possible for those in attendance. We encourage those individuals to attend the Summit virtually and are excited to share new offerings that make tuning in from your own home, a deeply integrated experience. 
2. COVID-19 Testing policy: To access the in-person portion of the Summit, Jackson Wild will be requiring results  of a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of the beginning of the Summit (9am MDT on Monday), even for individuals with a complete vaccination course. Jackson Wild will be providing on-site rapid antigen tests, which will be included in the cost of your pass.
3. Mask policy: All delegates, staff, and volunteers are required to wear a face mask at all indoor locations throughout the Summit. Face masks must cover both your mouth and nose, and fit securely around the sides of your face.Masks are not required when attending any outdoor event or venue.
4. COVID-19 Disclaimer: In order to attend Jackson Wild Summit, you will need to verify that you do not qualify in one or more of the following categories:​

- Have been exposed or believed to have been exposed to anyone who is confirmed to be COVID-19 positive within 14 days of the event.
- Have tested positive with COVID-19 and are not yet cleared as non-contagious by state or local health authorities or the health care team responsible for their treatment.

Jackson Wild will continue to monitor the health and safety requirements; should these requirements modify before the event, attendees will be notified and expected to adhere to the requirements in place at the time of the event.

Guests will be asked to monitor their symptoms on a daily basis. If an individual is feeling symptomatic, they will be asked to self-quarantine immediately, and to take a COVID-19 test.

In the event of a delegate who tests positive during the event, Jackson Wild will follow CDC protocol and:

1. Isolate and Transport Those Who are Sick: Immediately separate the individual with COVID-19 symptoms (for example, fever, cough, shortness of breath) at the event.  People who have had close contact with a person who has symptoms should be separated, sent home, and advised to follow CDC’s guidance. Establish procedures for safely transporting anyone sick or identified as a close contact to their home or hotel room or to a healthcare facility.
2. Clean and Disinfect: Close off areas used by a sick person and do not use these areas until after cleaning and disinfecting them (for outdoor areas, this includes surfaces or shared objects in the area, if applicable).
3. Notify Health Officials and Close Contacts. In accordance with state and local laws and regulations, event planners should notify local health officials of any case of COVID-19. Advise those who have had close contact with a person diagnosed with COVID-19 to stay home and quarantine, self-monitor for symptoms, and follow CDC guidance if symptoms develop. Consider keeping a list of attendees and their contact information for potential future contact tracing needs.
