The Association wants to encourage participation and collaboration, while maintaining everyone's right to privacy. With this in mind, we do not allow Artificial Intelligence software "bots" to attend our public or private events. This also applies to Association webinars; these are only available to members and paying non-members and should not be captured by AI bots. Association staff will remove AI bots from meetings.
