Code of Conduct

1. Purpose

We believe our community should be truly open for everyone. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, or country of origin.

This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participant behaviour. We invite all attendees, volunteers, speakers, and other participants to help us realise a safe and positive workshop experience for everyone.

2. Scope

We expect all workshop participants and organisers to abide by this code of conduct at the workshop venue and online.

3. Expected behaviour

  • Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative.
  • Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech.
  • Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.
  • Alert workshop organisers if you are troubled by the behaviour of another attendee at the workshop, or are concerned that another attendee may be in distress.

4. Unacceptable behaviour

We will not tolerate harassment in any form, or language, imagery, or behaviour that is:

  • sexist, racist, or exclusionary or otherwise offensive or derogatory
  • intimidating or threatening
  • insulting or unpleasant

Harassment includes any unwelcome behaviour directed at another person.

5. Consequences of unacceptable behaviour

Unacceptable behaviour by other attendees, organisers, venue staff, or other patrons of the venue will not be tolerated.

Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behaviour is expected to comply immediately.

If anyone engages in unacceptable behaviour, the workshop organisers may take any action they deem appropriate including expulsion from the workshop without warning or refund.

6. What to do if you witness or are subject to unacceptable behaviour

If you are subject to unacceptable behaviour, notice that someone else is being subject to unacceptable behaviour, or have any other concerns, please notify one of the organisers as soon as possible.
