Social Media Guideline

We thank of our colleagues at the Lorne Conference for Protein Structure and Function for sharing their policies with us, which we have reused and modified to suit our conference with their permission.

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES

While we encourage the use of social media before, during, and after the Lorne Infection and Immunity Conference as a means to share information and network with others who are attending the meeting, we remind you to adhere to our social media guidelines, including the following:

Do:

  • Follow the Lorne Infection and Immunity Conference:

  • Blog or tweet about what you are hearing and learning at the conference but refrain from sharing presentations, whether talks or posters. Please do not capture or transmit data from any slides or posters.

  • Provide feedback to the Lorne Infection and Immunity staff and the Program Committee – we encourage attendees to post/discuss topics of interest and ideas for future annual meetings.

  • Communicate with respect and consideration for others and keep criticism constructive.

Don't:

  • Use photographic, video, or other type of recording devices. This is strictly prohibited in all oral sessions (i.e., platform, plenary, invited, etc.) and poster sessions. It is also strictly prohibited to post photos/images or video recordings from these sessions on any type of online site, including social media platforms, blogs, personal Web pages, etc. Reminders about this will be provided by Chairs and in the program booklet.

  • Capture, transmit, or re-distribute data presented at the conference – this may preclude subsequent publication of the data in a scientific journal. Please be respectful of journal embargo policies and do not jeopardize the work of your colleagues!

  • Engage in rudeness, slander, or personal attacks.
