Social Media Policy

TxSGS permits and encourages the use of various forms of social media, including Facebook, Twitter, live blogging at our conferences, and other events as a means of summarizing, highlighting, excerpting, reviewing, and/or publicizing sessions, events, syllabus materials, speakers, or the conference in general, provided that only content excerpts are used and that the presentation material is not reproduced in full while using social media tools and the speaker is referenced and cited appropriately in each case.

While speakers have been informed of the TxSGS social media policy and are encouraged to permit the use of social media during their session, each speaker has the right to make an announcement at the start of the session barring the use of social media during the session.

We ask that at all times you please respect the intellectual property rights and copyrights of TxSGS and its presenters and speakers at conferences and other events.
