Emergency Nursing 2026 Speaker Orientation-Image/Video Usage Requirements

Image/Video Usage Requirements

Pdf Summary

The document outlines EN26 speaker orientation requirements for using images and videos in presentations. Because the session is a paid, public educational event, copyright laws must be followed carefully. Presenters must have written permission to use any image or video they did not create themselves, and this includes personal photos. Even if an image is labeled “copyright free” or “free to use,” it still requires proper credit on the slide.<br /><br />The guidance discourages using unrelated, low-value visuals such as clipart, smiley faces, cartoons, Google Image search results, memes, or social media images. Instead, presenters are encouraged to use their own images, AI-generated graphics, or properly credited public domain/creative commons images. If using photos that include other people or patients, release forms are required. AI-generated images may be used, but the model used should be credited and the content should be checked for clinical accuracy.<br /><br />For public domain or creative commons images, especially from Wikimedia Commons, presenters should download the image, use the “use this file on the web” option, copy the file URL, and enter it into the provided Attribution Generator website. The resulting citation text should then be placed on the slide. Government sources such as CDC or NIH are usually public domain, but still need attribution. Microsoft stock images also require credit, such as “Microsoft365.”<br /><br />If the review team cannot identify the image source or confirm permission, the image or video will be removed from the presentation. The overall message is that the presentation content, not the visuals, should be the focus. Questions can be directed to Lauren Hamm or Chris Zahn.
