This agreement confirms my understanding of the following:
I understand that the IOA and the CHS Washington and Greece have the right to photograph, video/audio-record, and interview me during the symposium, and to use, according to their judgement, whole or parts of the material; my performance, image, name, face, voice, and other characteristics of me (my overall presence during the symposium), for the evaluation, improvement, and/or promotion of the symposium.
I agree to transfer to the Symposium organizers all rights for using these photographs, recordings (video, audio, etc.) and I also consent that they have all rights to use my written answers to questions posed during the Symposium.

I consent to the possibility of the organizers recording my performance and to use and re-use, according to their judgement, whole or parts of this recording for promoting its programs, and to authorize other parties to do the same. Furthermore, I recognize that they bear no responsibility for the re-publication in any possible way of the above-mentioned recordings or any part of it that may be illegally made by any third party, by downloading them from the internet. I also recognize that although the image or video material is intended for digital and/or printed use by the organizers, there is no guarantee by them and no claim on my side that there will be total or partial appearance of that material in electronic or printed means of the organizers.
I understand that the organizers can adjust, change, edit, add, delete, combine with other material, the recordings, reproduction, and distribution of the material, or else to use my performance in the Symposium with any means/tools/media known today or in the future.
I agree that they will be the exclusive owner of the intellectual property and all other rights of images, video and/or audio recordings, as well as every other media, in which I appear.
