The 2020 Florida Chamber Environmental Permitting Summer School Conference was one of the first conferences in the country to gather since the outbreak of Covid-19. The conference was well attended with the current circumstances of COVID-19, and great Social Distancing measures were taken. The new approach of the HYBRID Conference Format seemed to work out very nicely. There were approx. 452 total attendees, which consisted of Sponsors, Exhibitors, Speakers and Attendees: 287 virtual (64%) & 165 in-person (36%), while the conference usually has 1,200 attendees/exhibitors/speakers. Everyone wore masks and the classrooms had a mixture of a panel with presenters attending the presentation in-person and some presenting virtually.
Lunches and snacks were boxed, and appetizers were contactless, as servers were present to serve. The cocktail hour remained as usual. 
Marriott had signs to have one family per evaluator, and other precautions to make us feel safe.
