Kintaba is dedicated to providing a safe and harassment-free experience for everyone participating in our events. To that end, speakers, partners, staff and all other attendees participating in IR Conf are subject to these Community Guidelines and Code of Conduct.
We ask you to be considerate of others and behave professionally and respectfully to all other participants. Remember that sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for this event. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the organizers or Kintaba staff members.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, 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.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the event staff immediately by emailing conduct@irconf.io.
Event staff will address participant concerns promptly and confidentially. We strongly encourage you to communicate your concerns privately by emailing conduct@irconf.io. We encourage you to avoid disclosing information about the incident until the staff has had sufficient time in which to address the situation. Please also keep in mind that public shaming can be counterproductive to building a strong community. We do not condone nor participate in such actions.
We value your participation and require your agreement to abide by this code of conduct in order to speak at the event.
