Vital Security Reminders

NT4D is ITAR Restricted & Military Critical

As a registered attendee of this Conference, you have a personal responsibility to help protect the data exchanged at this event. This includes responsibly managing your electronic devices (phones, computers, cameras, tablets, etc.), as well as your conversations. Please follow these basic guides at NT4D:

• Be aware of your surroundings when having technical conversations. All ITAR & Military Critical discussions should be held in the conference ballrooms or meeting space.

• All devices should be turned off (not on silent or vibrate) in the meeting space and exhibit hall. We understand it’s important to stay connected, so please be prepared to step into the foyer to check messages and make phone calls.

• The exception to this rule are computers or tablets used to take notes. Before entering the meeting space, you must turn off your wireless capability, cameras, recording functions, or microphones.

• If using a phone or having a conversation with someone in the general vicinity of the conference area, be mindful of other people or devices that could pick up or transmit your conversation or those conversations going on around you.

• Cameras are strictly prohibited. If you would like a photo of a booth, poster, speaker, or item within the confi nes of the conference space, see the NT4D photographer at the registration desk.

• NT4D Conference badges must be worn at all times when attending conference functions. You will not be admitted into the conference without it. Do not leave your badge unattended in your room. Keep it on your person or lock it in your room safe if not wearing it. If you lose or fi nd a conference badge, please see the registration desk immediately.

• Do not leave the program agenda, conference notes, anything ITAR Restricted or Military Critical lying in the open. Keep it with you or lock it in your safe. Please turn into the registration desk any notes or agendas you fi nd lying around.

• If you see or hear anything that concerns you, please err on the side of caution and report it. Ask for the conference coordinator, Michelle Williams, at the registration desk.

Thank you for your vigilance and awareness!
