Photography

Cameras may not be used in any poster session or session room except by registered members of the media wearing orange badges. This includes digital, film, and cell phone cameras. No one is allowed to take photographs in the exhibit hall except the official ASH photographer. Photography is strictly prohibited and violators will be promptly escorted and barred from the room if found attempting to take photographs. Repeat offenders will have their meeting badges revoked and not be allowed to continue to attend the meeting.

Disclaimer
ASH will have professional photographers present at the annual meeting; therefore, please note that any photographs taken at the meeting may be used in future ASH publications, on the ASH website, or in other Society materials. Attendance or participation in the meeting constitutes an agreement with ASH by the registrant for the Society to use and distribute the registrant’s image or voice in photographs, videotapes, audiotapes, or other electronic media pertaining to annual meeting events and activities.

Videotaping

Videotaping in any poster session or session room, or in the exhibit hall, is strictly prohibited. Violators will be escorted and barred from the room if found violating this rule. Repeat offenders will have their meeting badges revoked and not be allowed to continue to attend the meeting.

Audio Recording

Audio taping in any poster session or session room is strictly prohibited, except by registered members of the media wearing orange badges. Absolutely no recording of any kind by anyone is ever permissible in the exhibit hall. Violators will be escorted out and barred from returning. Repeat offenders will have their meeting badges revoked and not be allowed to continue to attend the meeting.

No Smoking

Smoking will not be permitted in any of the hallways, lobbies, meeting rooms, exhibits, or poster sessions at the convention center. Please refrain from smoking unless you are outside the building.

Prohibited Session Room Behavior

In crowded sessions, please honor the instructions provided by ASH staff. You may be told not to stand against the walls in these rooms or not to block the aisles. As ASH must obey the guidelines established by the Fire Marshall in Orlando, please note that if the room reaches full capacity, you may be denied entry.

Participation of Financial Professionals

The ASH annual meeting is a public forum; therefore, financial professionals and other individuals whose principal reason for attending the annual meeting is to seek business opportunities or obtain information affecting investment positions are welcome to register. However, the educational and scientific aspects of the annual meeting are always top priority. It is important that financial professionals identify themselves when speaking with presenters, particularly when asking questions for which the answers may have implications for corporate valuation or positions in equity markets. Speakers and moderators are also asked to give preference to questioners with scientific or clinical inquiries.

Children Under 12

For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 (including infants in carriers and strollers, or hand-carried infants and toddlers) are not permitted in the exhibit hall and poster sessions. Additionally, ASH prohibits children and infants in the sessions, as they may distract the speakers and disrupt other attendees.
