InfoQ Live is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate. Event participants (including speakers, sponsors, staff or guests) violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the event organizers.
Any form of written, social media, or verbal communication that can be offensive or harassing to any attendee, speaker or staff is not allowed at InfoQ Live. Please email us at info [at] infoq.com if you feel a violation has taken place and the event leadership team will address the situation.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation; stalking; following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
How to report inappropriate behavior:
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please email us at info [at] infoq.com immediately. Whilst you may, of course, post your complaint to social media we would prefer you to give InfoQ Live a chance to resolve this issue on a personal, one-to-one level first. Addressing sensitive issues like these in this way is generally faster and is also ultimately more effective.
