# 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](mailto: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.
