Event Participant Release and Waiver of Liability

In consideration of my participation in AFA’s 2024 Air, Space & Cyber Conference (the “Event”), which is hosted by one or more members (the “Member Hosts”) of Air & Space Forces Association (AFA), I hereby release, discharge and hold harmless AFA and its officers, directors, employees, members, and agents, and the Member Hosts, from any and all liability that may arise, directly or indirectly, now or in the future, by reason of any injury, damage, loss, or expense incurred in connection with my participation in the Event. 

I hereby attest that I am fully aware that the AFA is not responsible in any manner for the planning or conduct of the Event, or any activities thereunder. 

I understand and agree that alcohol may be served at the Event. I further understand and agree that any and all consumption or use of alcohol by an Event participant is wholly the participant’s own personal responsibility. Access to alcoholic beverages is strictly optional; no Event participant is required or expected to consume alcohol. I understand and agree that neither AFA nor the Member Hosts will assume any responsibility whatsoever should I, or another Event participant, choose to consume alcohol, and I understand that alcohol is a drug which can cause serious health consequences and unacceptable behavioral manifestations.  

I agree to hold harmless, indemnify and defend AFA, its officers, directors, employees, members, and agents, and the Member Hosts, from and against any and all liability, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly: (i) out of or in connection with the use or consumption by me of alcohol while I am a participant in the Event; (ii) out of or in connection with my use of the facilities provided by AFA and/or the Member Hosts; or (iii) in connection with my participation in the Event.   

This Release and Waiver of Liability shall be binding on my heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns.

I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS RELEASE AND ENTER INTO IT IN CONSIDERATION OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EVENT.
