Additional Press Policies

Additional Press Policies

Distribution lists
ARVO does not share its news release distribution list or its list of journalist attendees with outside organizations.

Non-ARVO press materials
News releases, press kits or other announcements from industry representatives, public relations firms or communications companies may be emailed to media@arvo.org for possible placement in the Online Press Room. Acceptance of such materials for placement in the Online Press Room is at the sole discretion of the Marketing and Communications Department. ARVO is not responsible for any misrepresentations made in these materials (e.g., stating that a study was presented as part of the Annual Meeting when it was not selected as part of the program).

Unauthorized sales
Any individuals with a press badge who sells, markets or represents a company for the purpose of obtaining advertising or subscriptions from any registrant or exhibitor will immediately forfeit press credentials for this and all subsequent meetings.

Press kits
Press kits are available for members of the working press only.

Events that require an additional fee
All fee events (paid courses and social activities) must be paid for by the journalist.

Display of unapproved advertising
Display of unapproved information or advertising of any kind in the convention facility or on the grounds, except in exhibit booths, is prohibited. Violation of this policy will result in confiscation and disposal of the material. Individuals who violate this policy will be evicted from the premises.

Contact ARVO Media Support with any questions.
