Exile Group Events Code of Conduct

We pride ourselves for creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and safe to share ideas and engage in open discussion. At the core of this we must provide a harassment-free experience at our events for everyone, inclusive of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, nationality or religion. All participants, speakers, sponsors and employees are required to abide by our code of conduct when attending conferences and meetups, and online. Any violations will be dealt with seriously and may include being expelled and banned from events or online spaces without a refund. This is to protect the safety of our employees, participants, speakers, suppliers and anyone present at our events.

Consequences

Participants who are asked to stop harassing behaviour are expected to do so immediately. Participants engaging in harassing behaviour will be asked to leave an event or online space and may be banned temporarily or indefinitely. If a ticket was purchased for an in-person or online event, we reserve the right not to issue a refund. If harassment occurs outside an event or online space organised by Exile Group that may impact the safety of our environment, we reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action, for instance banning from future events and escalating to an appropriate person such as an individual’s manager.
