Presenter Disclosures

Disclosures are for anything of value received from a commercial interest* or financial relationship** which relates directly or indirectly to the subject of a presentation. All conference presenters are required to declare any financial or industry disclosures during the submission process. Having an interest in or an affiliation with a corporate organization may or may not prevent a speaker from making a presentation. ILCA must be made aware of the relationship in advance.

Circumstances create a conflict of interest when a speaker has an opportunity to affect presentation content about products or services of a commercial interest with which the speaker has a financial relationship.

ILCA will not approve education that is not International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes compliant. We require our speakers to state their compliance with the International Code. Should any speaker be found in violation of the International Code, ILCA reserves the right to cancel the presentation and the speaker’s involvement with conference activities and nullify prior agreements.

All speakers must state their disclosures verbally and include them in writing on the disclosure slide at the beginning of their presentation.

When potential conflicts of interest are disclosed that cannot be easily resolved, ILCA’s Compliance Team or the International Code Committee will review the situation and make the final decision on whether the presentation will be included in the program.

*A commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients.**A relevant financial relationship is a financial relationship in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that creates a conflict of interest.
