REGULATIONS + SAFETY INFORMATION
A NOTE ON PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY
FROM THE MEETING ORGANIZERS
Recording & Photography Policy
AIChE Meetings are one of the primary ways the Institute fulfills its mission to advance the development and
exchange of relevant knowledge. The content presented at this event is the property of the presenters and the firms
where they work. Recording of sessions or taking photos of slides is strictly prohibited.
General Photography Notice
Sessions and events at the meeting are being photographed by a professional photographer. These photos will be
used to illustrate articles in CEP Chemical Engineering Progress® Magazine, on the AIChE website and in promotional
materials for future Meetings. By registering for this conference, you consent to your likeness being used for such
purposes without compensation and release AIChE from any liability on account of such usage.
SAFETY TIPS
Enhance your experience at the AIChE Meeting by staying safe.
Here are some safety tips to observe:
• When off the hotel grounds, please do not wear your badge in public. Doing so can give professional opportunists access to your
name, which they may then exploit to your detriment.
• When you are through with your badge, turn it in to registration. Do not leave it laying in the open so that unscrupulous
individuals have access to it. In addition, please do not let anyone have access to your badge for any purpose. Lending badges to
others for access to the meeting is strictly prohibited.
• Have your room key out and ready when entering your hotel room. Fumbling in an attempt to locate it in either a pocket or purse
outside your door could be a security risk.
• Never give a stranger your room number.
• Upon check-in to your room, note where the nearest fire exits are, so you know in which direction to go quickly in case of a fire
emergency. Remember – smoke rises, so if necessary, while exiting, get as close to the floor as possible when there is heavy
smoke present.
• When out in an urban area, it is advisable to travel in groups or pairs.
• L ooking down and concentrating on a mobile device while texting or listening to music through earbuds can be a hazardous
activity. Doing so while you are attempting to cross a street, get on or off an escalator, walk in a crowd, or make your way
through an exhibit area can all be harmful to your safety and the safety of others. Recently, there have been many incidents
of distracted meeting attendees who have attempted to walk up the down escalators or walk down the up escalators in our
meeting venues.
• Please take advantage of the ample seating provided in our meeting facilities in order to use your mobile device(s) in a calm
setting, so that you have a safe, enjoyable experience at AIChE meetings.
• void excessive consumption of alcohol. Alcohol reduces inhibitions and impairs the capacity to reason – a perfect formula to
A
make you a target for unscrupulous behavior.
This security advisory was implemented by AIChE’s Executive Board of the Program Committee (EBPC) with your safety in mind.
We welcome any other suggestions you may have to help attendees have a safe and pleasant experience at our meetings.
