Please note that photographs and video recordings will be taken during DYNA26.
By attending the event, you acknowledge that you might appear in photographs or video footage. These materials can be used by Dyalog Ltd. for promotional purposes, including social media, websites, marketing materials, and future event promotion.
If you do not wish to appear in photography or video, please notify us in advance by emailing dyna@dyalog.com. If you have notified us that you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, we might suggest practical steps to help us accommodate your request, such as avoiding seating in areas that are likely to be filmed or photographed (for example, near presenters, stages, or aisles).
