Press Policy No MSCI policy is intended to prevent accredited members of the press from attending MSCI events. Each press outlet will receive one complimentary ‘press’ registration to MSCI meetings or conferences. Any attribution from a formal presentation or informal conversation outside of a formal conference session requires the permission of any speaker before their comments or information from their presentation may be printed or distributed. Please note that recording of programs, materials and/or presentations (e.g. audio taping and/or videotaping) is prohibited. MSCI has the right to deny attendance to individuals or publications not abiding by this policy. Only event sponsors may distribute products or promotional materials at MSCI venues. Copies of presentations are provided to MSCI members only as a member service. Please contact Kate Johnson at 847/485-3006 if you are interested in becoming a sponsor.
