• Communicate with participants regarding updates or changes to the event program or in case of emergencies.

• Process payments for the event and issue invoices (if relevant).

• Understand the demographics of participants for marketing purposes.

• Comply with any legal requirements related to event registration or payments.

This may include information about the event program, speaker details, venue information, and other relevant event details. We may also send feedback forms after the event and follow-up emails to participants to gather feedback and improve our events.

To manage finances if there are payments for the event (if relevant): We use participants’ personal information to process payments for the event and issue invoices (if applicable). We may also use personal information to address any billing or payment-related issues that may arise.

To comply with any legal requirements related to event registration or payments: We may use personal information to comply with any legal requirements related to event registration or payments, such as tax or accounting laws.

To share necessary personal information with carefully selected third parties to ensure optimal execution of the event: In certain cases, it may be necessary to share participants’ personal information with selected third parties that are integral to the execution of our events. This may include, but is not limited to, vendors handling abstract submissions, hotels for accommodation arrangements, restaurants to accommodate food preferences and considerations such as allergies or religious dietary restrictions, transportation companies for organizing participant transport, and other relevant third parties that contribute to making our event technically and practically feasible.

In such cases, we will only retain the minimum amount of personal information necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
