WAIVER AND RELEASE FOR VOLUNTARY ACTIVITY
I, ________________________, have decided to join the 2025 Safe Space Summit in Chicago, Illinois, from October 22st - October 24th, 2025. I know Workweek has strict rules on personal conduct and zero tolerance for harassment. These rules apply all the time, even during off-hours, and breaking them could lead to serious consequences.
There will be alcohol at the Safe Space Summit. I’m aware that only those 21 and over can legally drink, and that drinking and driving is prohibited. I promise to drink responsibly, behave appropriately, and not drive under the influence of alcohol or any other substance. Workweek will provide transportation from Safe Space Summit events where alcohol is served.
I understand the Safe Space Summit includes some activities that could lead to injury, psychological distress, or worse. I’m aware that these risks might be due to the actions or negligence of Workweek or others. Despite this, I’m choosing to participate and accept all the risks involved.
By signing this waiver, I’m waiving and releasing all claims against Workweek and its people (officers, directors, employees, etc.) arising out of or related to my attendance at the Safe Space Summit, even if they’re caused by ordinary negligence. I agree not to make or bring any such claim against Workweek, and forever release and discharge Workweek and all other releasees from liability under such claims. This waiver doesn’t cover claims for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or any other claims that may not be waived under Illinois law.
If I need medical help during the Safe Space Summit, I consent to treatment and accept that I’m responsible for all related costs. I release Workweek from any claims related to such medical care.
This waiver is as broad as Illinois law allows. If any part is invalid, the rest still stands to the fullest extent possible. This waiver doesn’t alter any employment relationship between me and Workweek. By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and fully understand the terms of this waiver.
