ISTH media policy
Any media outlet or press representative wishing to attend an ISTH Event and/or to obtain official press releases from the ISTH Press Office must commit to respecting any and all embargoes set by the ISTH.
​
Read the ISTH Embargo Policy here. Press representatives who receive embargoed material from the ISTH understand that it is for their individual use and will not distribute the embargoed information to anyone else prior to the embargo release.
​
Embargoed materials include - but are not limited to - original journal articles, abstracts from scientific meetings, written news releases, audio news releases, video news releases, slides and any other materials associated with the scientific information being presented or published.
​
Photo and video rules:
-
Presenters are the sole proprietors of the content they disclose at ISTH events (data, photographs, slides, etc.) It is the responsibility of presenters or speakers to notify the audience of any restrictions on photographing the content they are presenting. The announcement must be made at the beginning of each presentation.
-
Video or audio recording during a scientific presentation or session is strictly prohibited.
-
Video recording or image capture in the virtual exhibition is strictly forbidden.

Any public dissemination of photos or videos taken at an ISTH must include the event.

​
CME policy
Providing continuing medical education (CME) credits in association with press coverage of the ISTH 2025 Congress is strictly prohibited. Companies offering continuing medical education credits in association with the ISTH Congress do not qualify for press registration, and access will be revoked if this activity is revealed.
Organizations that plan to offer CME-related content must obtain a separate agreement with the ISTH. Contact meetings@isth.org for more details.
​
Visa requirements
Citizens of some foreign countries will need a visa to enter the United States and attend the ISTH 2025 Congress in Washington, D.C.

It is critical that international attendees apply for a visa as early as possible.
