Code of conduct.
Sharing ideas, collaboration and openness are central to our work at Deeson, and we practice what we preach with events tailored to foster interesting conversations on all things digital.
We want our events to be a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone attending, which is why all participants are required to agree with the following code of conduct. If you have any questions about this code or need help during an event, please see the contact details in the invitation email we sent you.
The quick version.
Deeson is committed to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.
We don't tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any of our events, including at the venue, during talks, workshops, parties, and on Twitter and other online media. Participants who violate these rules may receive a warning or be asked to leave the event at our discretion.
The less quick version.
We understand that different people may have different ideas about what's appropriate. So that we're all on the same page, here are some of the behaviours we consider to be harassment:
- offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, and technology choices
- sexual images in public spaces
- deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events
- inappropriate physical contact
- unwelcome sexual attention
Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
This anti-harassment policy applies to all event participants in all event spaces. If we identify someone to be engaging in harassing behaviour, we may take any action we deem appropriate including warning the offender or removing them from the event.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns please tell a member of the Deeson team right away. We will take your concerns seriously and make necessary arrangements in order for you to feel safe.
