Safety Guidelines at Evolutions

We know you might have questions about the safety precautions that will be in place later this month in Los Angeles. We will be following all safety measures required of us by the State of California and the County of Los Angeles.

The most essential information to know (and plan for) is that all attendees must show proof of full vaccination, or a pre-entry (diagnostic) negative test result prior to entry (taken within 24 hours of the start of the event if an antigen test or 48 hours of the start of the event if a PCR test).

Please visit this page for the full safety requirements and FAQs.


Evolutions Scholarship Recipients

Last month, our Evolutions Scholarship Program opened to new and aspiring podcasters seeking financial support to attend. Congratulations to this year’s scholarship recipients!
