In addition, we sometimes take photos and videos at our events, which may feature attendees, speakers, sponsors or exhibitors. Where photos and videos are taken that feature you as an attendee, speaker, sponsor or exhibitor, we may use those photos and videos for promotional purposes.

Marketing

We will use your personal information to send you email newsletters, offers or other marketing emails to keep you up to date with our news, events and products that may be of interest. As we work with multiple partners and sponsors, we may also send you emails from time-to-time from these partners and sponsors to promote their news, products and services. Depending on the nature of your interaction with us and the laws of the country where you live, you may have actively given your consent for this by opting in, or we may be entitled to rely on your implied consent or our legitimate interests.
