​​​Code of Conduct

​

The core of our Code of Conduct is “Be Excellent to Each Other”. We will remove anyone from the event who is not in compliance with our Code of Conduct.

 

We expect all participants to support our Code of Conduct. Everyone at the event is a participant, including but not limited to sponsors, speakers, event organizers, staff, and volunteers. We assume that the majority of people are intelligent and intended to do well, but this event will be a safe and productive environment for everyone. To that end, we will spell out the behaviors and/or actions we support and do not support at the event.

 

We invite you to help us make the BSidesSLC event a place that is welcoming and respectful to all participants, regardless of race, gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, national origin, ethnicity, political affiliation, or religion. We desire for everyone to be able to focus on the event, network with other participants, and build up of our community, hence we will not tolerate harassment of participants in any form or fashion, including but not limited to online or in person.

 

We have no tolerance for physical, verbal, sexual harassment or offensive behavior of any kind.

 

Examples of harassment include:

• sexualized images in public spaces,

• verbal threats or demands, offensive comments,

• intimidation, stalking, slights and negative messages,

• harassing photography, harassing recording,

• unwelcome physical contact, unwelcome sexual attention, and/or

• sustained disruption of sessions or events.

• Harassment also includes both intentional and unintended offenses.

 

Our code of conduct extends to conference-related social events at off-site locations, and in related online communities and social media.

If you are not sure, ask, or err on the side of basic decency and common courtesy.

​

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Conference participants violating this Code of

Conduct will be expelled from the event without a refund, and/or banned from future events, at the discretion of the BSidesSLC staff.

 

Please bring any concerns to the immediate attention of the event staff. You may also email help@bsidesslc.org with any concerns. We thank our participants for your help in keeping the event welcoming, respectful, and friendly to all.
