Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience 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 conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, social and other online media.

A participant who experiences harassment or hostile behaviour may contact any of the following representatives:

These representatives will be wearing a coloured name tag and will be available in person or via e-mail. You can also contact any staff on the registration desk and they will be able to contact a code of conduct representative. Be assured that if you approach them your concerns will be kept in strict confidence, and they will consult with you on any actions taken. In case of a formal complaint, they will speak to all parties involved to try to resolve the issue without presupposition of guilt.

All event participants have a responsibility to speak out against breaches of this code of conduct. Depending on the situation, this could mean raising it with the transgressor, or reporting the behaviour.
