It also includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.
- All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery are not appropriate.
- Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees.
Participants asked to stop any inappropriate behavior are expected to comply immediately. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event at the sole discretion of the organizers without a refund of any charge.
Participants can report any violation of these guidelines to any of the organizers. Such reports will be treated confidentially.
