Promotional Policy: Conference sessions are learning experiences and, as such, are non-commercial. Although presenters are welcome to provide contact information and distribute brochures about their business or to mention an offering as an incidental part of a larger presentation, under no circumstances should a session be used as a forum for direct promotion of a speaker’s products or services or for monetary self-interest.
