This includes managing your electronic devices (smart phones, smart watches, health monitoring devices, computers, cameras, etc.), as well as your conversations responsibly. Aside from security concerns, prudence and responsible use of these devices extends basic courtesy to other attendees and speakers. Please follow these basic guides at NSMMS & CRASTE:
Confine all technical discussions to the meeting space or exhibit hall, as open foyer space is available to the general public. No electronic devices of any kind are permitted into the technical sessions any time.

Electronics may be left at the NSMMS & CRASTE electronics table, however neither NSMMS & CRASTE nor the Renaissance Indian Wells are liable for lost or damaged items.
Note that electronics will be allowed in the foyer areas and also the NSMMS & CRASTE exhibit hall, but must be returned either to your room, car or electronics table before reentry into technical sessions - no exceptions. If using a phone or having a conversation with someone in the general vicinity of the symposium area, be mindful of other people or devices that could pick up or transmit your conversation or those going on around you. Cameras are strictly prohibited. If you would like a photo of a booth, poster, speaker, or other person or item within the confines of the symposium space, see the NSMMS & CRASTE photographer at the registration desk.
