The Ecological Society of America encourages open discussion on social\/new media outlets at our Annual Meeting. In order to find a balance between the needs and expectations of members and make the meeting a safe and comfortable space for everyone, we set forth the following guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n
(Please include the opt-out Twitter image on every slide to ensure your preference is known since people may come in after your presentation begins.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please keep in mind ESA\u2019s meeting Code of Conduct<\/a> and apply it to your communication online (and in person!). Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
There are options for sharing presentation materials without in-session photography: presenters may post slides and posters to the ESA\u2019s F1000 Research Channel<\/a>, Figshare, Github, and other online databases at any time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
We ask that you do not photograph, video, or audio record information during scientific sessions (talks and posters). Special arrangements to photograph or record sessions, with explicit permission from presenters <\/em>and ESA, can be made through the Meetings Director, Christi Nam<\/a>, but must be pursued well in advance of the event! [Photography at social events, in public areas, and at plenary sessions is okay<\/em>.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Social\/new media (Twitter, Facebook and others) \u201copt-out\u201d policy: While the default assumption is to allow open discussion<\/strong> of ESA presentations on social\/new media, please respect any request by a presenter to not disseminate the contents of their talk. The following icon may be downloaded from the ESA website for inclusion on slides or posters <\/a>to clearly express when a presenter does not want their results posted to Twitter or any other new media sites:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
