Social Media Policy

Except by specific prior written permission, we do not permit the recording of presentations at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference (PAG) under any circumstances or in any form or media, including but not limited to still photography, audio recording, video recording, or literal transcripts.'

PAG permits and encourages the use of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and blogging as a way to summarize, highlight, excerpt, review, critique, and/or promote the presented materials, poster and exhibit materials, and the conference in general, provided that:

1. 1. the material is not shared in full, and
   2. the author or speaker is referenced and cited appropriately in each case.

Please keep in mind that our speakers have invested many hours in the research and development of this material and US copyright laws apply.

Out of respect for the other participants, we ask that electronic devices be silenced, though they need not be turned off, so that they may be used to follow along with the materials, tweet, or take notes in accordance with the above stated social media policy.

We Encourage You To:

• Blog, post, and tweet hightlights of and comments on the conference. (And use the official hashtag for 2022 - #PAGXXIX )
• Suggest sessions and workshops to attend and events to enjoy; discuss favorite speakers and posters; chat about products and services in the Exhibit Hall; post job openings and opportunities.
• Request the permission of speakers if you would like to take their photograph before or after a session.
• Provide feedback to Show Management and the Organizing Committee (perhaps discuss topics and/or speakers of interest for next year's conference, make suggestions for sessions, or comment on the format.)
• Keep criticism constructive!

Please Refrain From:

• Using photo, audio, and/or video recording devices. These are strictly prohibited in all scientific sessions and in the exhibit hall.
• Capturing, transmitting, or redistributing the bulk of the material presented in a session. Doing so infringes on the intellectual property rights of the speakers.
• Blogging, posting, and/or tweeting about the content of a plenary lecture, scientific session, workshop, etc. when the organizer or speaker has explicitly requested that some or all of the information presented is not to be captured or shared.
• Engaging in rudeness or personal attacks.

In Conclusion

You are permitted to blog, post, & tweet about what you are hearing & seeing at the conference and in the exhibit hall — highlighting or commenting on, but not sharing in full detail, the material presented. Photo, video, and audio recording are not permitted.
