Event Postings and product promotion

[William Hochstedler]

Please clarify the BiggerPockets policy regarding the question "Will  products be pitched during this event?"  Yes/No

I am the organizer of a REIA and occasionally make posts for upcoming meetings. We do invite sponsors to present at the beginning of meetings to help sustain our organization. However, the primary purpose of the meetings are educational and not a pitch. I'm sure this is the case with most REIA's.

To use a television analogy, this is content with ads, not an infomercial.  

I think it would be great to have a third choice to distinguish our meetings from hard pitch seminars held with the sole purpose of getting attendees to cough up tens of thousands for a guru retreat in Vegas.

If we answer "No" to this are we misrepresenting the intent of this question?

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance
