Code of conduct

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at our conference are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

In brief

Local-First Conf 2024 is dedicated to providing a welcoming and safe experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment (defined in detail in the next section) of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, or social media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the organizers.

More detail

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, 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.

Sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

If anyone engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.

We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference-related social events.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please alert any nearby conference organizer immediately. You can also send an email to coc@localfirstconf.com. Reports will be kept anonymous.

We value your attendance. Let’s all work together to make the best possible space for sharing ideas about local-first and helping our community grow in positive ways.
