COVID-19 Waiver 

I am fully aware of the ongoing and evolving COVID-19 pandemic that has been declared by the World Health Organization. I understand that the coronavirus and any permutations are spread mainly through face-to-face contact. I am verifying that I have received the COVID-19 vaccine and I am submitting proof of record that I have received the full dosages of the COVID-19 vaccine. In such case, I am voluntarily registering to participate in the International Energy Conference and Expo Guyana 2023 (the “Event”). 

I understand and agree to follow all instructions, guidelines and rules set in place by the Event and Guyana’s National COVID-19 Task Force, including practicing social distancing and wear face masks. I understand that the Event cannot guarantee that I will not contract COVID-19 and any other related viruses. I declare that I will only attend the Event if I am not experiencing or exhibiting any COVID-19 related symptoms as outlined by Guyana’s Ministry of Health, such as fever, dry cough or shortness of breath. In addition, I understand that I may be removed from the event or the property of the venue should I exhibit any behaviour in direct contrast to the COVID-19 protocols and other safety measures implemented. 

By signing this waiver, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge and hold harmless the Event from all claims of any kind arising out of COVID-19 and any other related viruses. I understand and agree that the waiver includes any claims towards any employee of the Event, any of the suppliers, support team, exhibitors, sponsors and other participating in the event whether a COVID-19 infection or any other related viruses exists before, during or after attendance and participation at the Event or the premise. I agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection herewith outside or within the courts of the Republic of Guyana.
