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?

I’ve shot hundreds of business events and have never been asked to sign an NDA or relinquish copyright. This isn’t the type of picture I’m ever going to use again or license to anyone other than maybe an editorial publication if they were writing about that event, but I imagine the NDA would stop me from doing that. I wouldn’t have a problem relinquishing copyright for a fee. I’ve done it on other types of projects.
The nda is generally due to sensitive material. No idea how you´ve not run into this yet. I´ve signed nda´s going from shooting in a technically sensitive factory to shooting pictures during a high end leadership meeting. It´s pretty logical they dont want us to spill certain stuff to competitors.
