BRAINXCHANGE LLC ANTITRUST POLICY

BrainXchange LLC is committed to conducting all Augmented Enterprise Summit events, meetings, programs, and related activities in compliance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. The purpose of these activities is to provide a forum for lawful education, networking, and the exchange of ideas. They must not be used for any discussion, agreement, understanding, or coordinated conduct that could restrict competition.

All participants, including attendees, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, moderators, staff, and guests, are expected to exercise good judgment and avoid any topic or conduct that could create the appearance of an antitrust concern. This applies to formal sessions, informal conversations, networking events, private meetings, social events, online discussions, and any other activity connected with the event.

Prohibited Topics and Conduct

Participants must not discuss, exchange, solicit, or agree upon competitively sensitive business information, including but not limited to:

• Current or future prices, pricing policies, price changes, discounts, rebates, fees, margins, credit terms, or other terms of sale.
• Costs, profit levels, production levels, inventories, capacity, output, sales volumes, forecasts, or other non-public operating data.
• Customer, supplier, distributor, territory, or market allocation.
• Bids, bidding strategy, requests for proposals, contract terms, or decisions about whether or how to compete for business.
• Plans to enter, leave, expand, limit, or avoid any product, service, technology, geographic market, customer segment, or line of business.
• Agreements or coordinated actions to boycott, refuse to deal with, disadvantage, or exclude any competitor, customer, supplier, vendor, or other market participant.
• Employment-related competition topics, including wages, benefits, compensation practices, recruiting strategy, hiring plans, or agreements not to solicit or hire employees.
• Any other competitively sensitive, confidential, or non-public information that could be used to reduce independent business judgment or competition.

Permitted Discussions

Appropriate event discussions may include general industry trends, public information, technology developments, regulatory updates, safety and operational best practices, workforce development, and other educational topics, provided the discussion does not involve competitively sensitive information or invite coordinated commercial action.

Meeting Conduct

Participants should make independent business decisions at all times. BrainXchange LLC staff, moderators, and session leaders may interrupt, redirect, or terminate any discussion that appears inconsistent with this policy. If an inappropriate topic is raised, participants should object, request that the discussion stop, leave the conversation if necessary, and promptly notify a BrainXchange LLC representative.

Agendas, presentations, and event materials should be prepared and delivered with this policy in mind. Speakers and moderators are expected to avoid inviting discussion of prohibited topics and to keep sessions focused on lawful, educational content.

Reporting Concerns

Anyone who has a concern about a discussion or activity connected with a BrainXchange LLC event should bring it to the attention of BrainXchange LLC event staff as soon as possible.

Participation in BrainXchange LLC events is conditioned on compliance with this policy. BrainXchange LLC reserves the right to take appropriate action, including removing a participant from an event or limiting future participation, if conduct is inconsistent with this policy.
