Service as an invited speaker

If during the event you attend a sponsored session or program hosted by an exhibitor other than SEGM2024 Meeting main program, you understand and agree that when you present your badge for scanning or when you provide personal data, that information will go to a non-SEGM2024 Meeting entity and SEGM2024 Meeting takes no responsibility for how that company uses your personal information.
