[IL-Talk] Urgent - convention registration

[Patti S Chang]

I am sorry, I saw Denise ask for your name so we could reach out for your
specific needs. I did not see your name which might be why we have not yet
replied. In fact I looked in our master database under your email and was
unable to find it that way either. You are welcome and we will accommodate
but we can't do so without more information. 

Thanks so very much for your interest in our convention.

We had considered attending but had concerns that there was a mandatory
release to have photos, audio, and video taken including for children.  Am
not a fan of the opt-out approach but here, opting out is not even an
option.  There is too much misuse and discrimination out there that it
should be a choice.

There have been other groups and events that are more cognizant of
attendees' privacy by distributing a different name holder strap or other
indicator to the photographer or editor to be excluded so attendees can be
more comfortable with attending and the organization can still get usable
photos/video of people who actually agree to being captured.

There could be others who feel this way but decided to bypass the convention
instead of asking directly.  We emailed Denise, IL chapter president, but no
valid reply yet.  Could prioritizing the privacy of attendees above
marketing materials increase the number of attendees?
