• Who does this policy cover?
  All attendees including delegates, visitors, speakers, sponsors, partners, volunteers, exhibitors and organizers are required to adhere to the following code of conduct.
• Unacceptable Behaviour
  Unacceptable behaviours may include but are not limited to:
  
   • Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, age or religion.
   • Sexual behaviour, images or sexually explicit or offensive language in public spaces.

   • Photography is encouraged, but other participants must be given a reasonable chance to opt out from being photographed.

It is inappropriate to take photographs in contexts where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy (in bathrooms or where participants are sleeping).

• Consequences of Unacceptable Behaviour
  If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the event organisers may take any action they seem appropriate. This includes warning the offender, expulsion from the event with no refund (if applicable), or reporting their behaviour to local law enforcement.
• Reporting
  If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the event organizer, staff member or the concerned committee immediately.
• If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the hackathon organisers may take any action they deem appropriate. This includes warning the offender, expulsion from the hackathon with no refund (if applicable), or reporting their behaviour to local law enforcement.
• We expect participants to follow these rules during the Tech Fest.
