INIT HELLO strives to be accessible for everyone. We recognize that many people have health needs that make it harder to attend events. With that in mind we are implementing the following health protocols for INIT HELLO 2026:

  • Masking is required in the event spaces unless you are eating or presenting. System Source has picnic tables outside if you feel more comfortable there. Presenters may remove masks if they feel the need.
  • Masks must be N95, KN95 or equivalent. We recommend you bring a mask you are comfortable with, but we will have a supply of N95 masks on site.
  • If you are going to attend INIT HELLO we strongly recommend you are fully up to date on vaccinations according to CDC Guidelines.
  • Please do not attend INIT HELLO if you are ill. Contact the event organizers for a refund. If you become ill at the event, we reserve the right to ask you to leave.

Please remember that some folks can ONLY attend INIT HELLO because we have these safeguards in place. The love of the Apple ][ is for everyone, so help everyone in the community feel safe and have a good time!
