  1. All sessions on the virtual platform will be recorded. By attending the Meeting, I give permission to APSA to record video and audio and create photographs of me, including but not limited to any presentation at the Meeting. APSA may use the photographs, video images and voice recordings for any purpose, including education, publicity, marketing and advertising.

I understand that I retain ownership of the copyrights to any presentation(s) and other materials I used as part of this presentation at the Meeting, but I allow APSA to use, reproduce, and distribute the presentation and other materials that I used. APSA may license the materials in connection with the Meeting.

  4. I know and understand that third party applications and platforms utilized by APSA, such as Zoom, Google Meetings, Twitter/X, Instagram, and Facebook may have privacy and security concerns, and APSA specifically waives liability for any injury, claim, demand, loss or damage that arise in connection with my use of or participation with such third-party services.

  7. I agree to the APSA Meeting Anti-Harassment Policy (Code of Conduct). The APSA Meeting Anti-Harassment Policy (Code of Conduct) addresses the importance of facilitating a climate of respect at all APSA Meetings. As part of this, the APSA RESPECT Campaign encourages “professional respect” by and towards all APSA Meeting attendees and participants at all times. RESPECT stands for Respectful, Equitable, Safe, Professional, and Ethical Conduct Towards All. The presence of APSA resources such as the Meetings Ombuds and the Bystander Intervention trainings at the Annual Meeting are also in place to assist members with participating in any APSA Meeting in a respectful manner.
