Virtual Event Code of Conduct

 

All attendees, speakers, vendors, partners, and volunteers at the virtual event and any related events are required to adhere to the following Code of Conduct. Event organizers will enforce this Code throughout the event entirety. This may mean immediate removal from the event.

​

Prior to any event, all participants are expected to be familiar with this policy.

Participants must register for the virtual event and provide an email, text, phone or (for special needs) other contact where they can be reached during the Virtual Meeting. Registration constitutes consent to audio and visual recording (and use and alteration of the recording) by the organizers for non-commercial purposes. Failure to register, provide such contact, or be available via the contact provided is grounds for being disconnected from the Virtual Meeting at the participant’s cost, without further notice or process.

​

Our aim in hosting a virtual event is to build a supportive community. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels welcome to participate, speak up, ask questions, and engage in conversation. This requires a harassment free and inclusive environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every participant. We invite all those who participate to help us create a safe and positive experiences for everyone.

​

We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free environment for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate during any aspect of this virtual event/conference, including talks, workshops, parties, social media such as Twitter, or other online media.

Following a Code of Conduct allows the best experience possible for all attendees.
