Code of Conduct

Scenic City Summit is dedicated to providing a harassment-free, welcoming conference 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 do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Expected behavior

• Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative.
• Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
• Be mindful of your fellow attendees and alert organizers if you notice someone in distress.

Unacceptable behavior

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to the categories above; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.

Reporting

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Staff can be identified by their badges and will be available throughout the event. You can also reach us any time at [email protected].

Conference staff will help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

Consequences

Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
