Transparency Summary

In 2022, the gala took place, despite concerns the dinner would become a super spreader event for COVID-19.

Red Flags

Yellow Flags

Although organisers promoted vaccine and testing, the WHCA and the Washington Hilton rejected an offer to install devices to disinfect the air using ultraviolet light. The rejection followed a reportedly large outbreak of COVID-19 at the Gridiron Club in April.
