  Large gatherings and social events are great opportunities for people to connect and enjoy themselves. They are also places where attendees may be crowded together, which can lead to close, prolonged, and frequent interactions between people. They may be associated with behaviors that contribute to the spread of mpox, like having sex with a new partner.
  
  This toolkit provides public health advice to event organizers and professional staff involved in the planning and delivery of large gatherings and social events and is designed to help organize events safely. This toolkit can be a starting point for conversations between event organizers and local, tribal, state, and federal public health authorities. As an event organizer, you have an important opportunity to help people at your event learn about and prevent mpox.
