Health & Safety Policy

IRI is committed to protecting the health and safety of all attendees at IRI meetings, conferences, and events.

IRI closely monitor CDC guidelines, federal and local mandates, and health and safety measures put in place by our meeting venues. Because these factors could change in the future, we will continue to evaluate whether any changes should be made, and we expressly reserve the right to update entry requirements for IRI meetings, conferences, and events based on the public health situation, new or revised guidance issued by the CDC or other authorities, changes in legal requirements or venue requirements, and/or other relevant considerations. This page will be updated to reflect any changes to the health and safety protocols.

Waiver & Release

Attendees acknowledge that IRI cannot guarantee that they will not be exposed to or contract a communicable disease at IRI meetings, conferences, and events, the conference and understand the risk that they may be exposed to or infected by a communicable disease by attending any such meeting, conference, or event. By registering for and attending an IRI meeting, conference, or event, attendees knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full personal responsibility for their attendance. In doing so, attendees forever release IRI, the meeting venue, and all their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents from liability should they become ill, directly or indirectly, as a result of attendance at an IRI meeting, conference, or event.

Masks

Protective masks are optional. At this time, IRI does not intend to require attendees to wear protective masks while attending an IRI meeting, conference, or event. All attendees should feel safe and comfortable while attending IRI meetings, conferences, and events. To this end, all attendees must be respectful of the mask-wearing and social-distancing preferences of their fellow attendees. Masks will be available at registration if needed.

 

Social Distancing & Food and Beverage Service

We kindly ask that all attendees respect other attendees’ comfort level when interacting. Food service may be modified to meet local mandates and the meeting venue’s guidelines. Such modifications may include, but may not be limited to, reduced seating at tables in meal functions, individual serving portions, elimination of self-service, etc.
