Service as An Invited Speaker
If you agree to speak at a sponsored event, we may share your contact and biographical information with attendees. Sometimes, we may also request a photograph. In other cases, we post information on the respective event website, such as your name, employer, physical work address, and work email address, as well as a link to your company website and professional LinkedIn page available to the public. This is so that visitors to the event website, including event attendees and speakers, can contact you with questions and requests for more information and to provide feedback if needed. Additionally, speakers may be asked to complete a release agreement or copyright form before their presentation.
Photography and Video Recording
To comply with global data privacy laws, CFX imposes certain restrictions on the use of multimedia at its events (e.g. photography, video, audio, online streaming, and all future mediums). An attendee is permitted to use hand-held cameras and/or smartphones to take photographs and capture digital images for personal, non-commercial use, provided the photography is not disruptive. Photographs may not be published, sold, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever.
CFX may hire professional service providers (photo/video/streaming/audio) to document and display the event experience. CFX may also use social media (e.g. Twitter) to: (i) post real-time photos and videos to its social media feeds; and (ii) display select submissions from those feeds on monitors throughout the event venue. Attendees and sponsors are encouraged to capture their event experiences and post their own social content from the event (text, photos, audio, video, streaming), provided it does not infringe upon the rights of any attendee, sponsor, third party, or CFX. Such infringement would include, but is not limited to, defamation or infringement of intellectual property rights. In the event an attendee requires a release or permission to protect the rights of a third party, obtaining such a release or permission shall be the sole responsibility of the attendee.
By attending the event, you acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) CFX may edit and use footage it captures at the event for marketing and promotional activities and for any other lawful purpose in the ordinary course of its business; and (b) due to the prevalence of mobile recording devices in today’s world, CFX disclaims all liability for the capture of your image in any multimedia format by other attendees at the event.
