A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Business event photographers - client asking to relinquish copyright - is this normal? (alien.top)

We will sing an NDA and they also asked to relinquish copyright. I'm talking with the event planner but to my understanding the client is a multinational company. Is this normal? What would you do?

Sure, if you're work for hire.

It's a corporate event. Who cares? I doubt some random dude speaking at a podium or giving out an award for 10 years of service is going in your portfolio.

Or has much of any resale value with tons of actual press there if its a significant event.

I googled this event (annual) and I barely found mentions of it and zero pictures in the whole internet.

So its worthless outside of doing it for whomever is hiring you. Shouldn't be an issue with doing it as work for hire.
