The IIA team reserves the right to maintain the anonymity of the victim in all instances. By participating in IIA’s event, you agree with this policy and understand that the well-being of the victim is the IIA team’s top priority.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the IIA team immediately.  All reports are confidential.

COVID POLICY

IIA has aligned its masking and meeting protocols with Highmark Health.  Highmark Health has aligned their protocols with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) current guidelines.  These guidelines include:    

  • In-person meetings/events are permitted.
  • Social distancing is encouraged.
  • Unvaccinated attendees are required to mask.
  • For vaccinated attendees, masking is a personal preference.
  • Local or state guidelines requiring masking and/or meeting capacity restrictions supersede the above protocol.  

This COVID policy is subject to change up to the start of the event.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-ATTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

In order to create a confidential exchange of information, it is the obligation of all participants in IIA’s Analytics Symposium to respect the confidentiality of fellow participants. The quality of discussions and the value we derive from these discussions depends upon our honoring both the letter and spirit of this agreement. As participants, we agree to adhere to the following conditions:

We, as IIA event participants, will not:

  • Disclose or share contact information of our fellow participants gathered during the project without permission
  • Disclose the details of any of the proceedings or discussions beyond the IIA analytics community without permission
  • Disclose any proprietary or confidential information that we receive during the meeting that could:
  • Cause harm to a fellow participant or a participant’s organization, or
  • Embarrass a fellow participant or the organization of the participant who made the disclosure

Although this statement is not legally binding, we agree to adhere to these standards as participating members of IIA’s research community and guests of IIA’s Analytics Symposium.
