AmCham Vietnam places a high priority on promoting health and safety. We value Vietnam’s vigilant response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and strive to support the Vietnamese government in its continuous efforts to prevent and control its spread. Thus, we have created a four-level event rating system that allows us to adapt and respond appropriately as the pandemic progresses, and to ensure that our members and friends can make informed decisions about which events they choose to join.

AmCham Vietnam asks that you follow these PPE and Social Behavior Guidelines so that we can minimize the spread of COVID-19 and maximize your experience in our events. As always, we welcome your feedback at [email protected].
