The Customer
The Atlantic Council, a nonpartisan organization, promotes constructive leadership and engagement in international affairs based on the Atlantic Community's central role in meeting global challenges. The Council provides an essential forum for navigating the dramatic economic and political changes defining the twenty-first century by informing its influential network of global leaders. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., The Atlantic Council hosts hundreds of events each year across the globe.
The Challenge
Each year, The Atlantic Council’s Distinguished Leadership Awards event gathers an elite, international audience – including political leaders, foreign dignitaries, ambassadors, military commanders, and international business leaders in Washington, DC for their leadership achievements.
​
To ensure optimum health and safety standards for over 500 guests, Atlantic Council event planners required guests from all over the world to provide proof of vaccination and a negative test result taken within 48 hours of attending the event. Organizers wanted attendees to have the option to test at home so they could track results before the event. Communication was extremely important, so the ability to customize messages in other languages was key.
The Solution
The Atlantic Council has been at the forefront of instituting protocols to keep guests and staff safe. CLEARED4 automated the testing process and vaccine verification by issuing access passes to those who provided a negative test result, reducing the administrative burden on event planners and demonstrating Atlantic Council’s due diligence in providing the safest possible environment for all. The event organizers were able directly to message guests should urgent information need to be shared prior to the awards ceremony.
Atlantic Council used the CLEARED4 solution for:
Pre-event
Testing people before they go to the event
During-event
Grant or deny access based on status
Post-event
Generate custom event analysis and reporting
“There's a lot of complexity to organizing high-profile events. With so many people coming from across the globe, CLEARED4’s real-time platform allowed us to maximize compliance of our COVID-19 protocols ahead of the event. We also leveraged CLEARED4’s managed services to help us with on-site testing to ensure a smooth run of show”

What’s Next?
In July 2022, The Atlantic Council used CLEARED4 for the second time - an international multi-day conference in Brussels, Belgium using CLEARED4’s European server. This event also required guests to provide proof of vaccination and upload their negative tests in advance. In September of this year, The Atlantic Council is planning to use CLEARED4 for the third time for the Global Citizen Awards in New York providing COVID-19 test kits to symptomatic and exposed guests using CLEARED4’s testing partner.
