- I EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND RELEASE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, NOW KNOWN OR HEREAFTER KNOWN, AGAINST NRWA AND ITS AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, “RELEASEES”), ON ACCOUNT OF INJURY, ILLNESS, DISABILITY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING OUT OF OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO MY BEING AT THE VENUE OR PARTICIPATING IN THE CONFERENCE AND BEING EXPOSED TO OR CONTRACTING THE DISEASE, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING OUT OF THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF NRWA OR ANY RELEASEES.
