Terms & Conditions

Last updated: September 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of the Sway Minds website, event registration process, communications, and attendance at Sway Minds events.

Sway Minds is presented by Sway Capital. By using this website, registering for Sway Minds, or attending a Sway Minds event, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Event Registration and Admission

Registration for Sway Minds is subject to availability and may be limited.

Submitting a registration form, reservation request, or other expression of interest does not necessarily guarantee admission unless your attendance has been confirmed by Sway Minds or Sway Capital.

Sway Minds reserves the right to approve, decline, cancel, or revoke a registration or invitation at its discretion, subject to applicable law.

Registration may not be transferred, resold, or assigned to another person without prior approval from Sway Minds.

Attendees may be required to provide identification or registration confirmation upon arrival.

Event Changes

Sway Minds reserves the right to modify any aspect of the event, including:

  • Speakers

  • Sessions

  • Programming

  • Schedule

  • Timing

  • Venue

  • Format

  • Event activities

  • Transportation arrangements

  • Food and beverage offerings

Speakers and programming are subject to change without notice.

We may also postpone, relocate, modify, or cancel an event due to circumstances including weather, venue issues, health or safety concerns, governmental actions, travel disruptions, speaker availability, force majeure events, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Invitations and Capacity

Certain Sway Minds events, sessions, screenings, dinners, receptions, afterparties, demonstrations, or other experiences may be invitation-only or subject to separate capacity limitations.

Registration for the broader Sway Minds event does not guarantee access to every associated activity.

Sway Minds may establish additional requirements for particular sessions or experiences.

Attendee Conduct

We want Sway Minds to provide a professional, welcoming, and respectful environment.

Attendees are expected to behave appropriately toward other guests, speakers, staff, vendors, sponsors, venue personnel, and members of the community.

Sway Minds reserves the right to refuse admission or remove any attendee whose conduct is disruptive, unsafe, abusive, threatening, unlawful, or otherwise inconsistent with the nature of the event.

Removal from an event may occur without refund or compensation.

Photography, Video, and Recording

Sway Minds events may be photographed, filmed, streamed, or otherwise recorded.

By entering an event area where photography or recording is taking place, you acknowledge that your image, likeness, voice, appearance, and participation may be captured.

You grant Sway Minds, Sway Capital, and their affiliates, partners, representatives, and service providers permission to use event photography, video, audio, and other recordings for editorial, promotional, archival, marketing, social media, website, and other business purposes, without additional compensation, where permitted by law.

Certain sessions, screenings, presentations, or experiences may prohibit attendee photography, video recording, audio recording, or distribution of content.

Any such restrictions must be followed.

Private Screenings and Confidential Content

Certain Sway Minds presentations may include unreleased, confidential, proprietary, embargoed, or work-in-progress materials.

If a session, screening, presentation, or other portion of the event is designated as private, confidential, off the record, embargoed, or subject to recording restrictions, attendees agree to comply with those restrictions.

Unauthorized recording, photography, reproduction, distribution, publication, or disclosure of restricted content is prohibited.

Intellectual Property

All content made available through the Sway Minds website or events, including branding, logos, graphics, photographs, video, text, designs, presentations, event materials, and other content, is owned by or licensed to Sway Minds, Sway Capital, speakers, sponsors, partners, or other respective rights holders.

Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of any intellectual property.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, publish, sell, commercially exploit, or create derivative works from Sway Minds materials without appropriate permission.

Speaker Views and Information

Views expressed by speakers, guests, moderators, sponsors, portfolio companies, or other participants are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sway Minds, Sway Capital, or their affiliates.

Information presented at Sway Minds is provided for general informational and educational purposes.

Nothing presented through the website, event, or related materials should be construed as investment, legal, tax, accounting, financial, or other professional advice.

No Offer or Solicitation

Nothing on the Sway Minds website or presented during a Sway Minds event constitutes an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or a recommendation regarding any security, investment product, fund, or transaction.

Any investment opportunity discussed in connection with Sway Capital or its affiliates will be subject to separate offering materials, agreements, eligibility requirements, and applicable securities laws.

Past performance, investment examples, portfolio company references, or other historical information are not guarantees of future results.

Third-Party Services and Links

The Sway Minds website may link to or incorporate services provided by third parties, including registration platforms, payment processors, maps, hotels, transportation providers, social media platforms, sponsors, and other external websites.

These services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

Sway Minds and Sway Capital are not responsible for the availability, content, policies, security, or performance of third-party websites or services.

Attendees are responsible for their own travel, lodging, transportation, insurance, and related expenses unless otherwise expressly stated.

Where Sway Minds arranges transportation, shuttles, activities, demonstrations, excursions, or other services, those services may be provided by independent third parties.

Participation in transportation or event-related activities is voluntary and may be subject to additional requirements or waivers.
