I desire to and willingly participate in the PMX 2022: Property Management Conference (Event) hosted by Virginia REALTORS®, a Virginia not-for-profit corporation (“VAR”) at 10231 Telegraph Road, Glen Allen, VA 23059.

I acknowledge that these risks may result from or be compounded by the actions, omissions, or negligence of VAR. I understand that while VAR has implemented measures to reduce the risks associated with the Event and the spread of the Disease, VAR cannot guarantee that I will not be injured or become infected with the Disease as a result of my participation in the Event and that attending the Event may increase my risk of contracting the Disease.
