All speakers at OHUG Conferences must understand and comply with the OHUG Code of Conduct. Specifically, it requires members not to solicit business nor permit other members or guests to solicit business at group functions. Vendor exhibit hall and/or special product demonstrations (e.g., the Conference's Vendor Showcase Sessions) are the only exceptions.

To help you comply with the Code of Conduct, OHUG has developed the following guidelines:

You must use the OHUG Conference PowerPoint presentation template.

Company logos may appear only on the title slide and final slide of the presentation; the logo may not appear on any other slide.
 

• Attempt to limit the use of a specific product or service provider name where possible.
• If you are going to use or cite a specific product or service provider during your presentation, be up front about the use. Make some statement along the lines of "while there are other products/services which handle (name of task), I will be using (name of product) during this presentation for reference and demonstration purposes only.”  Vendor Showcase presentations are exceptions.
• If the presentation requires the use of a product, be sure that the information included is transferable over product lines, where applicable.
• If you are a vendor or consultant and are conducting the presentation, wherever possible, involve a customer in the presentation. If this is not practical, cite references to one or many customer companies during the presentation.

 Failure to adhere to the OHUG Code of Conduct could adversely impact the speaker's ability to present at future OHUG conferences.
