Over the last few years, the Socialism Conference is grateful that attendees have kept each other safe by wearing masks indoors throughout the conference weekend, specially helping to ensure that the conference was accessible to immunocompromised and otherwise especially vulnerable comrades.
Masking at Socialism 2025: Attendees are required to wear a mask (N95 or K95) over their mouth and nose while indoors at the conference. Masks will be provided for those who do not have a mask.
