Photography and Recording Guidelines

Scientific Paper Sessions, Scientific Poster Sessions, Plenary Sessions, Refresher Courses, Special Focus Sessions
No recording devices of any kind—including audio, video, and still photography—will be permitted. The Daily Bulletin staff will be allowed to photograph or tape sessions with the proper credentials. Members of the news media will also be allowed to photograph or tape sessions with the proper credentials and/or must be accompanied by an RSNA escort. Photography will be limited to five minutes per speaker and must be conducted in a manner respectful of the speaker and the attendees. Every effort will be made to photograph the speaker before or after his/her presentation.
This policy will be enforced in all meeting rooms, including the Arie Crown Theater.
Poster Displays, Education Exhibits, infoRAD Area
For exhibits which do not display a "No Recording" icon, still photography will be allowed for personal use only—not for reproduction.
Technical Exhibits
Exhibitors are allowed to photograph, videotape or mechanically record their company's booth during regular floor access hours for exhibitor personnel. This must be done without the use of electrical lighting. For complete instructions, see the Exhibitor Prospectus. Videotaping is not allowed before exhibition hours on Sunday or Monday during the annual meeting. Videotaping is also not allowed after 5 p.m. on any day during the annual meeting. Exhibitors are allowed to have independent film crews videotape their booth between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Tuesday through Thursday of the annual meeting. These crews must be accompanied by an RSNA-appointed escort.
RSNA-appointed escorts are available for a fee and must be paid in advance or onsite by the individual exhibitor. These escorts are limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrangements for such activities must be made 30 days in advance through the Technical Exhibits Department.

Exhibitors will be asked to refrain from photographing, videotaping or mechanically recording if such activity interferes with setup, show activities or teardown.

The media may photograph, videotape or mechanically record the exhibit floor only when accompanied by an RSNA-appointed escort.
