Event Policies

Agreement and Applicability

These policies apply to all SHRM-Atlanta events.

By registering for, accessing, scanning the posted QR code for, or otherwise attending any SHRM-Atlanta event, each individual acknowledges and agrees to be bound by these Event Policies.

If the individual is attending in any capacity on behalf of an exhibitor, sponsor, vendor, or partner organization, that individual is additionally subject to the applicable Exhibitor Terms and Conditions or Sponsor Agreement governing participation in the event. Exhibiting organizations are responsible for ensuring that all of their employees, contractors, agents, and representatives are informed of and comply with both these Event Policies and the applicable Exhibitor Terms and Conditions.

Individuals who do not agree to these policies may be denied entry or removed from the event without refund or liability to SHRM-Atlanta.

If you have questions about any of these policies, please email info@shrmatlanta.org.

Registrants understand that they may be the subject of photographs, audio recordings, or videos that will be taken during this event and that such media will be included in SHRM-Atlanta's stock files. By attending, individuals grant SHRM-Atlanta or its designees permission to photograph and record them, and waive compensation or approval rights to the future use of media from this event.

All commercial videography and photography are strictly prohibited without expressed written permission of SHRM-Atlanta. Photos and recordings for educational use are only allowed with the permission of the presenter.

Conduct

SHRM-Atlanta is committed to providing welcoming, safe, and inclusive learning environments at its conferences and events. During our programs, we want all participants to share ideas, network, and enjoy the company of others, and we recognize that our ability to create this experience depends on the behavior of all in attendance. 

Event participants, speakers, staff, volunteers, service providers, guests, and exhibitors are expected to conduct themselves according to SHRM-Atlanta’s core values, and the ethical standards of the profession. All members of the SHRM-Atlanta community are to be considerate; refrain from any demeaning, harassing, or discriminatory behavior or speech; and immediately comply with any requests to discontinue objectionable behavior. Individuals who witness or experience inappropriate behavior should notify a staff member immediately. SHRM-Atlanta reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, including immediate removal from the event without warning or refund, in response to any incident of unacceptable behavior.   

Liability

SHRM-Atlanta will not be held responsible or liable should emergencies or nonemergencies make holding the event inadvisable or should the event be disrupted or deficient in its implementation. It is the sole responsibility of entrant to arrange appropriate personal insurance appropriate or necessary in connection with their attendance at the event.

By virtue of one’s registration, participation, and/or attendance in a SHRM-Atlanta event, the attendee voluntarily agrees to assume all risks and accept sole personal responsibility for any injury (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, or death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that the attendee may experience or incur in connection with attending the event. Attendee hereby releases, covenants not to sue, discharges, and holds harmless the venue, third-party providers, SHRM-Atlanta, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any such claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.

Data Privacy

In conjunction with registration for an event, SHRM-Atlanta, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and certain agents thereof may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to payment information, home address and telephone number, date of birth, and other information that is necessary or desirable for the processing of registration. By virtue of one’s registration, participation, and/or attendance in a SHRM-Atlanta event, the registrant authorizes SHRM-Atlanta to collect, process, register, transfer, and store such data. Such data will be used in accordance with applicable law, and safeguards will be implemented to provide protection from unauthorized access. The registrant understands, however, that no protection is failsafe. With this understanding and exempting gross negligence on the part of SHRM-Atlanta, the registrant waives any privacy rights the attendee may have with respect to the relevant information; authorizes SHRM-Atlanta to store and transmit such information; and in the case of any security breach, loss of data, or irreparable damage (including but not limited to monetary and reputation) hereby releases, covenants not to sue, discharges, and holds harmless SHRM-Atlanta, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from any such claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.

 

As we seek to provide an engaging learning environment that upholds the principles of consent and accuracy, notetaking apps/bots will not be admitted to SHRM-Atlanta programs without expressed advance permission. 

Pricing

If an attendee registers as a member but their membership lapses before the event, they must renew or pay the difference to the non-member rate for access.

SHRM-Atlanta membership is individual and nontransferable; attendees registered under a different account without their own eligibility for that pricing may need to join or pay the difference at the event.
