A recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruling requires that anyone who endorses a product through social media or presentations, should make the relationship with the brand (“material connection”) obvious. A “material connection” to the brand includes a personal, family, or employment relationship or a financial relationship, such as the brand directly paying fees, covering travel, or providing free or discounted products or services.
Disclosure of these kinds of relationships at ISTE20 Live is important because it helps keep recommendations honest and truthful, and it allows people to weigh the value of presenter endorsements.As an influencer, it’s your responsibility to make these disclosures, to be familiar with the Endorsement Guides and to comply with laws against deceptive ads.
All ISTE20 Live presenters will be asked to disclose relevant details by November 1, 2020, including the company/companies and relationship(s)/compensation or indicate that they do not have a material connection to disclose. Please be sure that any presenters on your session are aware of this reporting. The disclosure form is located on the sidebar of your presenter menu.
There is a limit of five student presenters per session.
