No Filming or Recording Policy

No Unauthorized Filming or Recording: Attendees are strictly prohibited from filming, recording, or streaming any portion of the seminar, including presentations, discussions, and hands-on sessions, without prior written permission from the event organizers.

Device Usage: Mobile phones, cameras, and other recording devices must be turned off or used only for note-taking purposes, without recording audio or video.

Permission Requests: Any requests to record specific parts of the seminar for personal use must be submitted in writing and may be approved at the discretion of the seminar organizers. Unauthorized recording may result in removal from the event.

Confidentiality and Respect: The content of the seminar is proprietary and designed to provide value to all participants. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the integrity of the event and respecting the intellectual property of the presenters.

Intellectual Property

All material relating to the Seminar for which you are enrolling whether presented during, before or after the Seminar, is subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights. The copyright in all such materials remains the property of SOTO-A and may not be recorded, used or reproduced, without the written permission of the copyright owner. You agree to not, at any time, do anything that would infringe the intellectual property rights in such materials.

SOTO Children in Class

SOTO A allows and supports breastfeeding mothers. However, the noise level from the attending infants must be minimal at the seminars.

As parents, we get accustomed to the little sounds that our children can make. This can be very distracting to those who do not have children. We are asking parents to be overly sensitive and as soon as a child makes a noise (either pleasant or not) to leave the room. In this way all attendees will be respectful of others and their ability to concentrate at the seminars.

We have found that children over 9 months of age are unable to sit quietly through a day session. Not only is it distracting to other attendees but the time the parent has to spend out of the room will affect attendance hours and may require make-up.

Children of all ages are welcome in some classes during specific times where the instructor has invited parents to bring them for demonstration purposes.

Suggestions for children in class: It is our strong recommendation that parents have an assistant present with them during the weekend who is able to tend to the child and yet have the child on-site for breastfeeding or other irreplaceable needs. Some parents will set up a baby monitor in the classroom, and in the hallway. This way, if they need to leave the room for a brief time, they are able to continue to listen to the class.
