Consent to Use of Photographic Images

Registration and attendance at, or participation in, the International Symposium on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Health Care constitutes an agreement by the registrant to allow HFES to use and distribute the registrant's photographic images on the HFES website, in promotional materials (e.g., emails), and in HFES periodicals and newsletters. When using photographs taken at the  Symposium for marketing/promotional purposes, HFES does not identify attendees or their affiliation; and specifically does not identify government/Department of Defense employees or their affiliations.
