NCGS permits and encourages the use of various forms of social media, including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and live blogging at conferences and events as a means of summarizing, highlighting, excerpting, reviewing, and/or publicizing sessions, events, syllabus materials, speakers, or the conference in general, provided that only content excerpts are used and that the presentation material is not reproduced in full while using social media tools, and the speaker is referenced and cited appropriately in each case.
While speakers have been informed of the NCGS social media policy and are encouraged to permit the use of social media during their session, each speaker has the right to make an announcement at the start of the session barring the use of social media during the session.
