It is expected that all presenters will give an unbiased presentation without using product promotion and will not discuss content or make clinical recommendations in their "conflict-of-interest" area. A content expert will be asked to review presentation content and rate for the absence of commercialism, product promotion, bias, or unresolved conflict of interest. This review will take place both prior to and during the presentation.
