Using the platform

Provide accurate information, keep your sign-in secure, use only the access granted to you and report suspected unauthorized access. Invitation-only information, participant data, travel records and unpublished documents must not be shared beyond their intended audience.

Acceptable use

  • Do not bypass access controls, probe the service, introduce malicious code, scrape participant information or use contacts for unrelated marketing.
  • Do not upload unlawful, harmful, confidential or rights-infringing material.
  • Respect participants, intellectual property, privacy and session rules.

Programme and submissions

The programme, speakers, rooms, travel, excursions and costs may change. Current platform information replaces earlier drafts.

You retain ownership of submitted material and permit the Forum team to store, reproduce and share it with the audiences selected by you or an authorized session manager for Forum delivery and records.

Availability and enforcement

The Forum Organizing Committee and its authorized personnel may correct content, restrict or suspend access, remove inappropriate material and preserve evidence of misuse. The service may be interrupted for maintenance, security or circumstances beyond the organizers’ control.

Questions for NCRST, IDRC and ACTS in their capacity as members of the Forum Organizing Committee should be sent to info@sgciforum26.ncrst.na for routing to the responsible organization.
