Restrictions may be added closer to the conference.

We are excited to return to Portsmouth in-person this year. For everyone’s protection, NEST has set out the Covid Policy below. You will be asked to indicate agreement to follow this policy as part of registration.

Required:

• Up to date vaccinations. If you have special circumstances, contact nestorytelling@gmail.com for increased testing and masking requirements.
• Negative rapid test within 24 hours of arrival
• Masks if requested by workshop leaders

Please do not attend if you are symptomatic, have a fever, or are otherwise ill – even with a negative test. Contact us for refunds. We will be as flexible as possible.

Suggested:

• Please bring masks with you to the conference. We will have some available but appreciate help ensuring everyone is able to be as flexible as needed in the moment.
• Please bring some rapid tests, including any extras you can donate to NEST.
• We recommend testing yourself daily.

To Get Free Rapid Tests:

As of November 2023, each household is entitled to 4 free tests from the US government. Link here. If you did not order tests in fall of 2022, you can order 2x for a total of 8 tests.
