Final answer:

It is not legally required but is common practice to include a clause for recording rights in a speaker's contract to protect both parties' interests.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is false that an association must include a clause in the contract for the right to record a speaker's presentation. While it is common practice to negotiate the rights to record the speaker's presentation for future use or distribution, this is not a legal requirement. However, securing such rights is advisable to avoid copyright infringement and should be discussed and agreed upon before the event. The terms regarding the recording should be explicitly stated in the contract to protect both the speaker's intellectual property rights and the association's interests in using the recording.
