Interview requests
Contact CHEST Media Relations at media@chestnet.org to discuss interview opportunities.
In some cases, a scientist presenting data that are soon to be published may be unable to provide additional information because of constraints imposed by the publisher. In these instances, CHEST will help identify and arrange interviews with independent experts on the subject whenever possible.
Reproduction of images, graphs, and other visual representations
Content presented during the meeting is strictly copyrighted, and use of imagery or visual representations of data, audio, and video recording is strictly prohibited without the written consent of CHEST. Failure to get permission and provide evidence of this, and failure to provide accurate accreditation, will result in a breach of copyright.
Recording, filming, and screenshots
CHEST retains exclusive rights to all media capture. Videotaping, recording, or screen capture of any educational session, data, demonstration, roundtable, or any aspect of the CHEST 2024 educational program is limited to news reporting purposes only. This would include, but is not limited to, recorded segments of a presentation for the purpose of b-roll footage.

CHEST permits and encourages the use of social media, such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and blogging as a way to summarize, highlight, excerpt, review, critique, and/or promote the presented materials, the content expert, or the conference in general, provided that:
- the material is not shared in full, and
- the author or speaker is referenced and cited appropriately in each case.
Please keep in mind that our presenters have invested many hours in the development of this material, and copyright laws apply.
