  • The manufacturer/s of any commercial products/s and/or provider/s of commercial services discussed in a presentation.
  • Any commercial supporters of the presentation.

The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent a presenter or chair with a significant financial or other relationship with a commercial company from making a presentation, but rather to enable audience members to form their own opinions as to whether a presentation is biased or not.  It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker’s interest or relationships have influenced the presentation.

Significant financial interest or other relationship may include such things as:

  • Support of individual or department research.
  • Any support or financial incentives, current or past, which relate to the subject matter of the current presentation.
  • Any stock ownership or options, employment, loan or financial relationship with a company whose product or service is directly connected to the topic of the presentation.
  • Being a consultant for a company whose product or service would be directly affected by the subject matter of the current presentation.

Presentations must be free of any commercial bias:

  • No commercial literature or audiovisual material may be used.
  • Trade or commercial names should be avoided unless necessary for clarity.
