In accordance with the safety protocols recommended by the Mayor of DC, the Walter E. Washington Convention Center will require all show guests to wear a mask while inside, and show proof of vaccination upon entering the building (including proof of the first dose for children 12 and older). Along with these safety mandates, the Convention Center itself is a GBAC STAR accredited facility, meaning it has reached the "gold standard" for sanitation. Boasting the first-ever HVAC air purifying system, a new robot that uses disinfecting ultraviolet lighting to clean, and a dedicated team of employees, the Auto Show is confident in their ability to provide a safe and prosperous show experience for both attendees and exhibitors alike.
