Off the Record Sessions
Most AHIP Event sessions are considered open to press and on the record. Like many industry conferences, AHIP Events also occasionally include panels and keynotes that are off the record. If a session is off the record, (i.e., described as off the record or AHIP or the speaker has explicitly requested that some or all ofthe information presented is not to be captured or shared), you are welcome to attend, but may not blog, post, record, video, photograph, and/or tweet about the content of an Event session.
Code of Conduct
All Event attendees (including speakers, exhibitors, or other participants) must comply with this Code of Conduct. Event attendees are expected to treat other attendees with respect and consideration and must not engage in harassing or disruptive behaviors. Anyone asked to stop such behavior is expected to comply immediately.
AHIP defines harassment to include offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, national origin, gender identity, or disability; use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces (including presentation slides); deliberate intimidation, stalking or unwelcome following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; and unwelcome physical contact or sexual attention.
AHIP Event attendees often combine professional activities with social interaction and while AHIP encourages such networking and strengthening of connections, AHIP reserves the right, in its discretion, to remove or bar anyone whose social attentions become unwelcome to another attendee, who appears inebriated, or who engages in conduct that interferes with the ability of other attendees to participate in and enjoy the Event.
Assumption of Risks; Releases
You expressly assume all risks associated with, resulting from or arising in connection with your participation or presence at the Event, including, without limitation, all risks of loss, harm, damage or injury to property or person (including the risk of contracting COVID-19 or other disease or illness, or death), whether caused by negligence, intentional act, accident, act of God or otherwise. You acknowledge and agree that AHIP shall not be liable for, and in consideration of your participation in the Event you hereby release AHIP from, any and all risks, losses, damages and liabilities whatsoever which may arise in connection with your participation in the Event.
Violations
If you violate these Terms and Conditions, or any rules and regulations governing the Event, AHIP may take action, including but not limited to barring you from continued attendance or participation in some or all of the Event, without refund of any fees paid, and/or barring you from attendance at or participation in future AHIP events or activities.
