Code of Conduct

Our community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, or lack thereof. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate for any community venue, including discussions and events. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the community at the discretion of the organisers.

Anti-Harassment

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

• Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion.
• Sexual images in public spaces.
• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following.
• Harassing photography or recording.
• Sustained disruption of talks or other events.
• Inappropriate physical contact.
• Invasion of personal space.
• Unwelcome sexual attention.
• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour.

Enforcement

Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, organisers retain the right to take any action needed to maintain a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the event without a refund.

Reporting

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. On the day, speak to any member of staff at the registration desk. At any time, you can email info@techeurope.io. Reports are handled confidentially, and you can ask to remain anonymous.

Inclusive Language

Any speech that reinforces harmful stereotypes is unwelcome. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Making undue assumptions and/or sweeping generalisations about a group of people.
• Any language that deems disability a defect.
• Any unwelcome comments on one's physical appearance.
