The Federation of American Hospitals is moving forward with an in-person event in June, making it the first health care organization to resume live events following the COVID-19 pandemic, Politico reported Wednesday.

The 2021 FAH Conference and Business Exposition is currently scheduled to take place from June 6-8 in Nashville. The association is planning to host 700 to 800 attendees at the conference, which is about half the usual number, a FAH spokesman told the newspaper.

FAH will implement a series of measures to curtail COVID transmission, including mandatory social distancing of at least six feet, requiring facemasks and providing hand sanitizer. However, the group will not require attendees to first get a vaccine.

"Your safety and well-being are our highest priorities and the FAH is committed to providing you with a safe environment throughout your stay," FAH said in a statement on its website.
