Recording and Photographing

SETAC embraces a set of values, two of which include transparency, integrity, and civil dialogue. As part of our commitment to be an open and transparent society, we encourage meeting attendees to capture and share the research being presented as long as they do so in a respectful manner, honor the intellectual property of the presenter, and they provide appropriate attribution.

Attendees Photography “Opt-out” Policy

While the default assumption is to allow for open discussion of and access to scientific content of presentations at SETAC events, please respect a presenter’s request to refrain from photographing or disseminating the contents of their talk or poster. Presenters may have various reasons for opting out, such as guarding intellectual property or not wanting preliminary data disseminated while they are seeking feedback from peers. We will provide the following tools to help communicate all “no recording” restraints:

• A “No Recordings or Photos” icon that presenters can download and place on slides or posters.
• The session chair and the presenter will verbally indicate any such restriction prior to a talk.
• We will also provide the “No Recordings or Photos” icon as a sticker on site that can be affixed to posters.

These steps will make it clear that a presenter does not want their results photographed or discussed on Twitter or other social media.

Meeting attendees should familiarize themselves with our social media guidelines.

Any photos should be discrete. Individuals should never distract from the talk, block other attendees’ view, or disrupt discussion or engagement by the posters.
