Separate image and attendance claims
Read whether the poster names a performer, uses an illustrative crowd image or includes a past-event photograph. Save the version and date you encountered because promotional artwork can change.
Check the source
- Search the relevant image crop.
- Review the original caption where available.
- Compare the organiser's current event details.
- Confirm ambiguous attendance claims through official channels.
A photograph from last year's conference may legitimately illustrate a recurring event. It should not be treated as evidence that every person pictured is speaking this year.
Avoid unnecessary identification
Focus on the advertised claim, image credit and official programme. Do not identify private attendees from crowd photographs. If the poster uses your image in a misleading way, document the exact page and claim before requesting a correction through the organiser's normal contact process.
