Meeting Rules and Regulations
No Photography
Cameras may not be used in any poster session or session room, except by registered members of the media. This includes digital, film, and cell phone cameras. Photography is strictly prohibited and violators will be promptly escorted and barred from the room if found attempting to take photographs. No one is allowed to take photographs in the exhibit hall except the official ASH photographer. Repeat offenders will have their meeting badges revoked and not be allowed to continue to attend the meeting.
No Videotaping
Videotaping in any poster session or session room, or in the exhibit hall, is strictly prohibited. Violators will be escorted and barred from the room if found violating this rule. Repeat offenders will have their meeting badges revoked and not be allowed to continue to attend the meeting. Registered media are allowed to videotape in public areas of the convention center, but only with the permission of ASH and when accompanied by an ASH media relations staff member.
No Audio Recording
Audio recording is strictly prohibited in the poster sessions and in the session rooms, unless one has the presenter’s express written permission. Certified members of the press are exempt from this rule if registered as such for the meeting. Absolutely no recording of any kind by anyone is ever permissible in the exhibit hall. Violators will be escorted out and barred from returning. Repeat offenders will have their meeting badges revoked and not be allowed to continue to attend the meeting.
No Smoking
Smoking is not permitted in any of the hallways, lobbies, meeting rooms, exhibits, or poster sessions at the convention center. Please refrain from smoking unless you are outside the building.
Prohibited Session Room Behavior
In crowded sessions, please honor the instructions provided by ASH staff. You may be told not to stand against the walls in these rooms or not to block the aisles. As ASH must obey the guidelines established by the Fire Marshall in Atlanta, please note that if the room reaches full capacity, you may be denied entry.
Children Under 12
For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 (including infants in carriers and strollers, or hand-carried infants and toddlers) are not permitted in the exhibit hall and poster sessions. Additionally, ASH prohibits children and infants in the sessions, as they may distract the speakers and disrupt other attendees.
Photography Disclaimer
Professional photographers will be present at the ASH annual meeting; therefore, please note that any photographs taken at the meeting may be used in future ASH publications, on the ASH Web site, or in other Society materials.
