Photo Policy

 Photography and recording are generally permitted at BSides Hampton Roads; however, we ask all attendees to be respectful of speakers, participants, and the community environment.

• Consent first: Do not photograph or record individuals without their clear permission. This includes attendees, speakers, and volunteers. 
• Talk restrictions: Some sessions may be designated as “no recording” at the speaker’s request. These rules must be strictly followed. 
• Privacy matters: Avoid capturing sensitive materials, screens, badges, or anything that could expose personal or organizational information. 
• Professional use: Any use of photos or recordings for media, commercial, or promotional purposes requires prior approval from event organizers. 
• Respect requests: If someone asks not to be photographed, their preference must be honored. 

By attending, participants agree to help maintain a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone at BSides Hampton Roads.
