Sale
of materials and the solicitation of consulting work

any conference session the sale of materials. Furthermore, the Network does not allow presenters to solicit consulting work during
any session listed in the program.
Session presenters are permitted to use materials they have
created and to refer to consulting work that they do, but neither materials
