Controls and safeguards
No harvested attendee lists, multi-level marketing, undisclosed recruiting or sales pitching.
Professional advice carries appropriate scope and referral disclaimers.
MEDIUM — contact harvesting, commercial solicitation and unequal professional power require clear conduct and consented matching.
What to measure
Repeat participation across career stages and sectors.
Follow-up: Send requested introductions within two days, then ask once at six weeks whether the connection was useful; honour no-contact choices.
