  • Event Notices

    Unless otherwise disclosed, the statements made by speakers and instructors represent their own opinions and not necessarily those of the organization they represent, or that of DIA (Drug Information Association). Speakers, instructors, agenda, and continuing education information are subject to change without notice. Recording of any DIA educational material in any type of media is prohibited without prior written consent from DIA.

    DIA reserves the right to restrict or deny admission to, or expel from the Event any person: (i) who in DIA’s sole discretion is behaving or threatening to behave in a manner which DIA reasonably considers to be disruptive of the Event; (ii) violating DIA’s rules or policies, or local, state, or federal laws, or whose conduct is deemed illegal, disorderly, or offensive by DIA in its sole discretion; or (iii) for any other reason in its sole discretion.

  • Participants With Disabilities

    Reasonable accommodations will be made available to persons with disabilities who attend an educational activity. Contact the DIA China office in writing at least 15 days prior to event to indicate your needs.

  • Event Stream and Recording

    If you attend a DIA event, we may take photographs of you at the event. We may also make video and audio recordings of events (both face to face and online) that may include your participation in the event, including your image, questions, and comments.

    DIA uses photography and recorded video and audio to promote our events and to make them available for later use to support DIA's mission to improve health and well-being worldwide by promoting the exchange of vital information and issues related to healthcare products, technologies and services. Events go by extremely quickly. Attendees, speakers and exhibitors cannot attend all sessions and discussions. Photography and recordings are essential to allow attendees, speakers and exhibitors to learn from sessions and discussions they couldn't attend, capture the energy and atmosphere outside the official sessions, and allow persons who could not attend to view what transpired and learn from the event.

The Privacy Policy applies to all information DIA collects, including information collected via this website and DIA online community websites, email and other electronic communications between you and DIA, event registrations, and information you provide to DIA offline.
