Video, Photo, or Screen Capture of Event Content

AES strictly prohibits photography, video , and audio recordings, and screen captures in all educational sessions. The use of live-streaming software, such as Zoom or live social media feeds, is also prohibited. 

Material presented at the AES Annual Meeting may not be reproduced in any format without the express written consent of AES or the otherwise applicable rights holder. By registering, participants acknowledge and agree that commercial or promotional distribution, publishing, or exploitation of speaker sessions, content, or materials from the event is strictly prohibited. 

Violations of the AES recording, video, and image capture policy may result in removal from the session and possible revocation of event registration without refund of any registration or other fees and expenses.  

The single exception:  Photographs of individual posters will be allowed in the in-person poster hall unless a “no photos” placard is on the upper right-hand corner of the poster next to the poster number. It is the responsibility of the registrant to look for and confirm the presence or absence of the “no photos” placard.  

In the virtual poster hall, photography, screen captures, or other images of ePosters are not allowed.

Digital Select Platform User Responsibility

All participants in any virtual aspects of the AES Annual Meeting, including registrants, faculty, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, event attendees, and others, are responsible for ensuring that their computers and/or mobile devices, their internet and wifi capacity, and their electrical/battery support are sufficient to fully engage in any virtual offering(s).

Harassment

The American Epilepsy Society (AES) is committed to supporting educational and scientific dialogue, and to fostering a welcoming community in which all participants can contribute fully. Reflecting these values, AES will not tolerate harassment in any form.

We expect all attendees, media, speakers, volunteers, organizers, venue staff, guests, and exhibitors at AES-organized events to help us ensure a safe and positive environment. Anyone violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers. This policy applies to all activities and events where AES is the primary sponsor.
