Speaker Terms and Conditions

I hereby agree to participate as a speaker at Catalyst H2™, to be held December 4-6, 2023, in Huntington Beach, CA, and I agree to abide by the terms set forth herein.

I agree that only the speaker named below will appear during the agreed upon date and time and that there will be no substitutes. I understand that Catalyst H2™ reserves the right to record, reproduce, publish, and distribute my presentation and that it will be made available to conference attendees during and after the event. Catalyst H2™ understands and agrees that the above grant of rights does not constitute a transfer of copyright and that I remain free to present the materials or revised versions thereof at other events. Catalyst H2™ is hereby authorized to use my name, likeness, picture, and biographical material during and after the event to advertise and publicize present and past speakers.

In granting this consent and release, I acknowledge and agree Catalyst H2™ shall be under no obligation to pay me for delivery of any service I perform as a result of this agreement, or for the permission/license that I have granted to Catalyst H2™ to record, reproduce, publish, and distribute the work as set forth above.

I further represent and warrant that I am the sole author and owner of the work and all rights in and to all portions of the aforementioned work; that the work is original; that it does not violate or infringe on any personal or property rights of others, whether common law or statutory; that it contains nothing libelous or otherwise contrary to law; and that I am authorized and empowered to enter into this agreement. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Catalyst H2™, the parties’ officers, directors, employees, and volunteers from any and all claims of copyright infringement made against Catalyst H2™ and arising out of the work and my presentation of the work at the event. 

Catalyst H2™ will strive to create a welcoming, collaborative environment for all attendees and stakeholders. At times, debatable issues may be discussed at Catalyst H2™. These debates make the industry stronger and facilitate the healthy exchange of ideas in a collegial setting. All speakers will strive to present balanced perspectives on contentious issues in a professional, constructive manner

Further, I will honor attendees by abstaining from overt statements or offensive humor, which would disparage the dignity of any individual or group. I will use non-discriminatory words in verbal and written communications. Catalyst H2™ recommends you review your material and substitute asexual words (e.g., sales representative or salesperson instead of salesman); refrain from using labels (e.g., referring to women as “girls”); and eliminate sexist language in your handouts (i.e., replace masculine pronouns with he or she, or reword sentences or phrases). When you encourage audience participation, acknowledge and give equal opportunity for contribution. I agree to avoid discriminatory jokes or visual aids that show people in stereotypical roles by presenting individuals without bias regardless of sex, race, age, groups, etc.

Anti-Trust Statement

It is the policy of Catalyst H2™ to comply in all respects with federal and state antitrust laws. All trade show events and committee meetings shall follow a formal, pre-approved agenda for conducting business in the energy industry and related businesses.

We meet to foster the exchange of information in the energy industry and associated businesses by promoting networking opportunities among the attendees. While engaging in these activities, attendees should avoid any discussions with competitors about customers or matters involving premiums, sale terms, territories, production, or any element of competition.
