The organizers of the 2022 HPA Tech Retreat have released a statement regarding the safety protocols that are being put in place to ensure the health and safety of attendees. “Our first priority for planning the Tech Retreat is safety,” the statement read. “We have been planning carefully and leaning on expert advice to ensure the event is safe and comfortable for everyone.”
The retreat is being held February 21-24 at the Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage, California.
California currently has some of the most stringent covid policies in the U.S. in place and the greater Palm Springs vaccination rate has been consistently among the top in the state, with Rancho Mirage reporting 94 percent of residents vaccinated as of the end of 2021. Further plans include:
