Code of Conduct

We want everyone to enjoy today’s conference and feel able to contribute.

We expect all conference participants to treat others with dignity and respect and to conduct themselves in a proper and professional manner.

All communication, be it online or in person, should be appropriate for a professional audience and be considerate of people from different cultural backgrounds.

Be kind to others and do not insult or put down other conference attendees.

Remember that harassment and sexist, racist or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate.

Harassment includes but is not limited to offensive verbal comments, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of discussions, inappropriate physical contact and unwanted sexual attention.

Negative or exclusionary comments about any identity, including sexual orientation or gender identity will not be tolerated.

Contributions should be made to discussions with a constructive, positive approach.
