Photography/Audio/Video Policy

During TBA events, the Association and its staff regularly take photographs to highlight the speakers or participants, and opportunities available to its member companies, and the industry at large. By attending a TBA event, attendees give TBA permission to use any attendee’s voice and image in any such archival or promotional recording, photograph or streaming activity.

Antitrust Policy

Federal Antitrust laws prevent the discussion of certain pricing or market control actions among competitors. It is also a violation for the TBA to facilitate or permit such discussions at TBA meetings and events. Care should be exercised by both TBA staff and bankers, as antitrust liability is often established through circumstantial evidence. Please be conscious of the TBA antitrust policy and assist us in maintaining good corporate governances practices. For more information, please contact the TBA legal team at 615-244-4871 or 800-964-5525.
