The Wholesale & Specialty Insurance Association is excited to welcome its members back to San Diego November 16-19 for for the 2021 Annual Marketplace.

What follows are important reminders to help prepare attendees for badge pick up on-site so they can maximize their time once they arrive.

Where to start upon arrival

 The WSIA Badge Pickup/Safe Expo Verification tent will be located on the Marina Terrace, behind the Marriott. ALL registered attendees and guests must start there to verify either your COVID-19 vaccination or proof of qualifying negative COVID-19 test. All attendees and guests must pick up their own badges and photo ID will be required.

If you have already uploaded your proof of vaccination to the Safe Expo portal, you will come to the tent, present your purple confirmation screen and a photo ID to the Safe Expo representative, then you will proceed to pick up your badge.

If you need to present your proof of vaccination on-site, bring your documentation to the WSIA Badge Pickup/Safe Expo tent, along with your photo ID. Once verified, you will proceed to the badge pick up line.

If you need to present your qualifying negative COVID-19 test on-site, bring your documentation to the WSIA Badge Pickup/Safe Expo tent, along with your photo ID. Once verified, you will proceed to the badge pick up line.

If you need to complete a COVID-19 test on-site, go directly to the Solana Room, in the South Tower of the Marriott Marquis for testing. Rapid antigen tests are $50, and rapid PCR tests are $150. Test results will be available within 15-60 minutes. If you wait there for your result, you will receive a WSIA GO card that will allow you to proceed to badge pickup. If you leave and wait for results electronically, you will need to start at the WSIA Badge Pickup/Safe Expo tent, along with your email confirmation and photo ID. Once verified, you will proceed to the badge pick up line.

On-site testing hours:

You can test without an appointment, or you can reserve a testing time in advance online here.
