CONFERENCE HEALTH & SAFETY

By registering to attend the PAPA Annual Conference, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the following:

Attendance: I understand that my participation in the PAPA Annual Conference may involve a risk of exposure to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases. I knowingly assume that risk. On behalf of myself as well as my family and heirs, to the greatest extent allowed by law, I release from liability, and waive all claims against PAPA, its officers, directors, and employees for harm, injury, damage, or death suffered by me, should I contract COVID-19 or another disease as a result of my travel to, or attendance at, this event, even if arising from the negligence of any such released person.

Masks: I understand that I will comply with the latest CDC, state and local health guidelines regarding mask-wearing. Current guidelines state that those who are fully vaccinated may choose not to wear a mask, but those who are not fully vaccinated are encouraged to wear a mask during the event. A limited amount of masks will be available to supplement attendees’ personal supply.

Self-Pre-Check:  I understand PAPA discourages attendance from those who exhibit COVID-19 symptoms prior to the event or at any point during the event.

The Hotel Hershey: PAPA is working closely with the event venue, The Hotel Hershey, to ensure safety measures will be followed. If necessary, attendees will receive updated protocols via email prior to the event.

Our goal for all attendees at the various PAPA events is to provide a safe, secure, and healthy educational experience. Please email or call us if you have any questions or suggestions.
