Anti-Trust Policy and Caution

As members of a trade association, each person attending this function must be mindful of the constraints imposed by federal and state anti-trust laws. The people here today represent companies that are in direct competition with one another. IRI’s purpose is to provide a forum for the free exchange of ideas on the designated topics. It is not the purpose of this meeting to reach any agreement that could have anti-competitive effects. Individuals must keep in mind that a violation of the anti-trust laws may subject them to fines — or worse. You can avoid problems by following these simple guidelines:

• Stick to the published agenda.
• Be cautious about discussions involving pricing, premiums, benefits to be offered or terminated, and who should or should not be covered. The Justice Department views these types of discussions with concern and suspicion. Never take a poll of participants’ positions or make a collective agreement on these issues.

IRI is dedicated to assisting each of its members in achieving their competitive potential.

Health and Safety Protocols

IRI is committed to protecting the health and safety of all 2023 IRI Annual attendees.

We are closely monitoring CDC guidelines, federal and local mandates, and health and safety measures put in place by the meeting venue. Because these factors are frequently changing, we will continue to evaluate whether any changes should be made, and we expressly reserve the right to update entry requirements for the conference based on the public health situation, new or revised guidance issued by the CDC or other authorities, changes in legal requirements or venue requirements, and/or other relevant considerations. This page will be updated to reflect any changes to the health and safety protocols.

Waiver and Release

Attendees acknowledge that IRI cannot guarantee that they will not be exposed to or contract a communicable disease at the conference and understand the risk that they may be exposed to or infected by a communicable disease by attending the conference. By registering for and/or attending the conference, attendees knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full personal responsibility for their attendance at the conference. In doing so, attendees forever release IRI, the meeting venue, and all of their directors, officers, employees, and agents from liability should they become ill, directly or indirectly, as a result of attendance at the conference.

Masks

Protective masks are optional. At this time, IRI does not intend to require attendees to wear protective masks while attending the conference. All attendees should feel safe and comfortable while attending the conference. To this end, all attendees must be respectful of the mask-wearing and social-distancing preferences of their fellow attendees. Masks will be available at registration if needed.
