This Code of Conduct outlines our commitment to you, as well as our expectations for participant behavior and the consequences of unacceptable behavior.

We invite all sponsors, volunteers, speakers, attendees, media, exhibitors, and other guests  (collectively, “Participants”) to help us realize a safe and positive conference experience for everyone.

2. Expected Behavior

  • Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative.
  • Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
  • Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow Participants. Alert conference organizers if you notice a dangerous situation or someone in distress.
