READ and ACCEPT - Participation Requirements
Event will be virtual.
We are amidst a global pandemic. The situation and consideration of hosting this event will be monitored up to the event. Attendance is not anyone's entitlement or forum for political statement.
Federal, state, and local regulations will provide the minimum guidelines for the event.
This is a community event that has thrived for a decade grown from goodwill and care for each other. For that spirit to continue, that may mean some personal accommodation on event precautions that you may personally feel to inconvenience you or you feel to be unnecessary. You can swallow such thoughts and instead focus on the joy we all have of being together in person.
By purchasing a ticket, you agree to follow the event Participation Requirements, which will adapt up to and including the event:Mask policy - we will make a decision on masks shortly before the event based on the current conditions. Don’t register for the event if you are not okay with needing to wear a mask at the event. No exceptions / exemptions.Vaccine policy - you must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and you must be prepared to prove it in advance of the event. Vaccine 'passports' / verification is a work in progress for the world and we will work on a suitable process. No exceptions / exemptions.Good conduct policy - social distancing and similar policies will be adjusted as the situation evolves. You will conduct yourself at the event in a spirit of civility in line with the conduct required by the organizers and on-site volunteers. Should you wish to argue with someone, please limit it to the mirror in your hotel room.No chargeback policy - this is a charity event and has operated since inception on a no refunds policy. If the event cancels due to pandemic considerations, your ticket will be used to cover event costs to the degree they cannot be waived, with the balance, as with prior events, going to the designated charities. If you purchase a ticket and your plans change, regulations prevent you from traveling, or you decide you cannot meet these participation requirements, there will be no refund. If at the event you violate the participation requirements, you will be required to immediately depart the event, and there will be no refund. In all cases, you will not make a credit card chargeback for your event ticket. Should you file a chargeback you will be banned from attending future Chicago Seminars events. Be happy that the event charities will benefit from your graciousness, even if you find yourself in that position from lack of graciousness.
