Acceptance of Policies and Registration Conditions

The following RETCON Registration Terms & Conditions (the “Terms & Conditions”) apply to all RETCON events. Prior to your registration, you must acknowledge and accept the Terms & Conditions contained herein. Should you not wish to accept the Terms & Conditions you should not register.

Submission of a registration is regarded as affirmation of your acceptance of the Event Terms & Conditions.

How We Will Use Your Information

RETCON is committed to data privacy and protecting your personal information. Information on how RETCON collects, processes, and uses your data is included in the RETCON Privacy Policy which is hereby incorporated into these Terms & Conditions. Additionally, by submitting your email address during the event registration process, you agree that RETCON and its event partners may send you event-related information. A valid email address is required for all registrations.

RETCON uses the personal data you provide in this registration for administering your participation in this event. This may include information about the event’s content, event logistics, payment, updates, and additional information related to the event.

RETCON may disclose your personal data to third party service providers engaged by RETCON to assist in the conduct of the event. Information you provide when registering for or participating in an event managed or co-sponsored by parties other than or in addition to RETCON may be shared with those parties, and the treatment of such information is further subject to the privacy policies of those parties. Except as described herein, RETCON will not disclose your personal data to any other third party without your consent except where required to do so by law.

Nondiscrimination Policy

RETCON prohibits discrimination, harassment, and bullying against any person for any reason—for example, because of age, ancestry, color, disability or handicap, national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual or affectional orientation, gender identity, appearance, matriculation, political affiliation, marital status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Event Conduct and Safety

RETCON is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment to all participants, including staff and vendors, at RETCON-related events. RETCON has no tolerance for discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form at RETCON-related events. Participants are expected to adhere to these principles and respect the rights of others.

What To Do If You Witness or are Subjected to Unacceptable Behavior: Participants should report any behavior inconsistent with these principles to onsite event staff. Event staff will be happy to help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.

You may also contact RETCON directly to report a concern at [email protected].

Liability Waiver & Release

In consideration of being allowed to register for, and participate in the event, you hereby warrant and represent that you are age 21 or above and freely waive, release from liability, assume all risks, and covenant not to sue RETCON or its members, employees, board members, agents, or volunteers for any expense, loss, damage, personal injury, including loss of life, illness, including but not limited to COVID-19, disability, property damage, or property theft or actions of any kind that you may hereafter suffer or sustain before, during, or after the event, unless said expense, loss, damage, personal injury, including loss of life, illness, disability, property damage or property theft or actions of any kind is caused by the sole, gross negligence of RETCON. This Liability Waiver and Release is specifically binding upon your heirs and assigns and is knowingly given.

If you are under 21, you will not be allowed to attend the conference. You may ask our team for a full refund with proof of a valid government-issued ID.

Service as a Speaker

All terms outlined in this agreement will apply equally to speakers as well. Additionally, if you agree to speak at an RETCON sponsored event, we may share your biographical information with event attendees. Sometimes we may also request a photograph. In other cases, we post on the respective event website information such as your name, employer, as well as a link to your company website and/or professional LinkedIn page available to the public.

Badge Scanning & Tracking During the Event

RETCON event co-sponsors, exhibitors, and other third parties may directly request your personal information at their exhibit booths or presentations. Providing your information to them is optional, and you should review their privacy policies to address your particular needs and concerns about how they will treat your personal information. Please understand and agree that when you present your badge for scanning or when you provide personal data, that information will go to a non-RETCON entity and RETCON takes no responsibility for how that company uses your personal information.

Also, you understand and acknowledge that RETCON may use bluetooth tracking in order to record which sessions you attended or which locations you spent time in while inside the conference venue. RETCON will not (and cannot) record location information while you’re outside of the physical event venue. Any data collected may be shared with 3rd party sponsors, exhibitors, and partners of our event.

Usage of Photographic and Video Material Taken at RETCON events

To comply with global data privacy laws, RETCON imposes certain restrictions on the use of multimedia at its events (e.g. photography, video, audio, online streaming, and all future mediums). An attendee is permitted to use hand-held cameras and/or smart phones to take photographs and capture digital images for personal, non-commercial use, provided the photography is not disruptive. Photographs may not be published, sold, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever.

RETCON may hire professional service providers (photo/video/streaming/audio) to document and display the event experience. RETCON may also use social media (e.g. Twitter) to: (i) post real-time photos and videos to its social media feeds; and (ii) display select submissions from those feeds on monitors throughout the event venue. Attendees and sponsors are encouraged to capture their event experiences and post their own social content from the event (text, photos, audio, video, streaming), provided it does not infringe upon the rights of any attendee, sponsor, third party, or RETCON. Such infringement would include, but is not limited to, defamation or infringement of intellectual property rights. In the event an attendee requires a release or permission to protect the rights of a third party, obtaining such a release or permission shall be the sole responsibility of the attendee.

By attending the event, you acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) RETCON may edit and use footage it captures at the event for marketing and promotional activities and for any other lawful purpose in the ordinary course of its business; and (b) due to the prevalence of mobile recording devices in today’s world, RETCON disclaims all liability for the capture of your image in any multimedia format by other attendees at the event.
