All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are
required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will
enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all
participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.
Don’t be a jerk(ette).
Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference
experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and
expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body
size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.
We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form.
Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or
expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion
of the conference organisers.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender
identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical
appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices,
sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking,
following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of
talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome
sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply
immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers
may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender
or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or
have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff
immediately. Conference staff can be identified as they'll be wearing
branded clothing and/or badges.
Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue
security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist
those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the
conference. We value your attendance.
We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop
venues and conference-related social events.
