Thanks for your response and follow up Ivan.
Of course I understand mistake happens, and it's generally unavoidable in a large room with random sitting where the shot is a wide panning shot across the room. However, in this particular case, whoever was filming B-roll of the audience chose to zoom in on these 2 or 3 people where the one in most focus is clearly wearing a sticker. Subsequently, the video editor deliberately chose to cut in that shot of the audience in-between continuous footage of the speaker speaking. Like Sydney said, someone along the process should have caught this.
Thanks,
KTC

Dear Katie, we are working in the last part of upload and edition of the materials.
Personally I asked to video crew to respect the stickers and they are people who record frequently hackathons and open related events with similar stickers. But we have a lot of footage during 5 days, some shoots can show people with the sticker accidentally. If you or someone detect this deficiency we can remove people who require it and upload again the videos.
Thanks for the comment,

Katie, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I’ve asked the local team who was in charge of working with the video outfit to look into this. (I know the videos they are working on in production now are sensitive to this, so perhaps one got by them?)
