I. Event audio/video recording, photography and live transcript

During the workshops, conferences and meetings, photographs may be taken by the host/organizer for use in their publications or other promotional material. In addition, many sessions are subject to video and audio recording for webcasting and archival purposes. By attending the sessions, you agree to allow APNIC and other entities including but not limited to, local organizers, hosts, co-hosts and supporting organizations, the unrestricted right and permission to copyright and use, reuse, publish, and republish video and/or audio recordings, photographs, presentations or pictures of you or those in which you may be included. Also, live transcript services will be provided in some sessions. Due to the inherent difficulties in capturing a live speaker's words, it is possible transcripts may contain errors and mistranslations. Lloyd Michaux and APNIC accept no liability for any event or action resulting from the content of the transcripts.

J. Dietary requirements

While APNIC works hard to cater to all dietary requirements and tastes, in some locations and venues it is not possible to meet all requests. In particular, delegates should note there are very few halal restaurants in Noumea and most hotels, including the APNIC 46 conference venue, cannot provide halal meat dishes.
