devopsdays Eindhoven - Conduct

All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers at devopsdays Eindhoven 2023 are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We’re expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free 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), the choice to wear a protective face mask, or technology choices. We don’t tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery isn’t appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter, and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

The Less Quick Version

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, the choice to wear a protective face mask, 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 are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors shouldn’t use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) shouldn’t use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

If a participant 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.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the conference staff or Code of Conduct team immediately.

Conference staff can be identified by distinct staff badges. Our Code of Conduct team members are:
