I have never thought about that hosting a wordpress event or wordcamp even though many of my employees are on wordpress, i will start thinking about it.

You will have to address these issues with the country, state, and city you reside within. Each agency has their own rules. In general, when a person gives a presentation, it is copyrighted. It is up to them how they want their content to be used. If you used their content without permission in a way they didn’t like, they would have some rights to prevent it or sue you for compensation. The definition of “non-commercial” is still questionable if there is some gain, money or not, from the usage of the content. Better to be safe by getting permission in writing before. Or create a policy for your institution or facility that states presenters’ rights, so everyone is on the same playing field.

How does this apply if the form is NOT signed ahead of time, is in a public forum (such as a library or public college), and is used for NON-COMMERCIAL use? Does that mean the speakers could sue me/college/etc. if we used the video later for NON-COMMERCIAL purposes? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have seen so much junk on the internet, so it is nice to see something positive being said.
Kind regards,
