  1. Professional Conduct: Participants are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and appropriate manner. Bullying or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to:

    • Making comments, verbal or written, that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, and religion.

    • Engaging in deliberate intimidation.

    • Stalking or persistent following.

    • Cyberbullying.

    • Inappropriate or unwarranted photography, recordings, or screen-captures.

    • Creating or sharing harmful, obscene, or indecent content.

    • Creating or sharing cruel or insensitive content.

    • Facilitating sustained disruption of engagements.

    • Instigating inappropriate contact or unwelcome attention.

 

  1. Safety and Wellbeing: We have zero tolerance for actions or behavior that impact the safety and wellbeing of event participants. This includes, but is not limited to:

    • Facilitating violence or criminal behavior.

    • Promoting or publicizing any criminal or violent activity.

The above-mentioned actions are strictly prohibited in all conference environments, including talks, networking activities, workshops, meetings, and online conversations. Exhibiting, sponsoring, and similar activities are also subject to our anti-harassment policy. We thoroughly review reports of violations of this policy, whether submitted by the affected individuals or bystanders.

In the event that a participant engages in any of the aforementioned behaviors, the event organizers may take appropriate action, including issuing warnings or expelling the offender from the conference without refund. Participants asked to cease any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. We reserve the right to take action on a particular contribution or account basis, such as removing posts or messages, or temporarily or permanently suspending user access. This is in addition to our rights outlined in the Terms and Conditions of your ticket.

If you experience or witness any behavior that violates this policy or have any concerns, please contact conference staff immediately. Your well-being and the safety of our participants are of utmost importance to us.
