We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels safe, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, social or financial background, ethnicity, nationality, disability, physical appearance or religion. We will not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
- All participants are expected to behave professionally: be considerate, inclusive, respectful and collaborative.
- Harassment and sexist, racist or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate.
- Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography or recording of an individual without consent.
- It also includes offensive or belittling comments related to age, gender, sexual orientation, social or financial background, ethnicity, nationality, disability, physical appearance or religion.
- All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate.
If you observe someone making you or anyone else feel unsafe, unwelcome or uncomfortable, please tell them so, and remind them of the Code of Conduct. If you are at all hesitant about addressing the person yourself, please report it to an organiser in any way you feel comfortable. We are committed to addressing and resolving the matter to the best of our abilities. We will respect your confidentiality at all times. Attendees violating the above guidelines may be asked to leave the event.
