Safety and Security at RSNA 2021
The safety and security of our attendees is important to the RSNA leadership team. During this year’s meeting, we continue to stress safety and security best practices to all our attendees. Every year, RSNA works closely with McCormick Place and the City of Chicago to promote the safest possible meeting environment and prepare for the possibility of any emergency that may arise.
