All speakers will be filmed in video for an exclusive broadcast of their intervention on the SOFCOT website.

A broadcasting authorization was requested from each speaker. If you have not yet completed it, this document must be given to the organizers at the latest on the spot, the day of your intervention.

9. Intellectual Property Right

Each speaker must ensure that the pre-existing works (photographs, graphics, music, film extracts, etc.) integrated into his presentation can be used and that the necessary authorizations have been obtained.

Otherwise, the speaker declares to possess all the authorizations related to the intellectual property rights in the works that make up his presentation and assumes responsibility for all the sums due under these rights.

As such, the speaker informs SOFCOT against any claim brought by third parties on the ground that part of its presentation constitutes an infringement of pre-existing intellectual property rights, SOFCOT cannot be sought or concerned in this regard.

In order to ensure the smooth running of your intervention on a technical level, we thank you for respecting all these recommendations.
