The event organizer, as host for Linaro Connect 24, is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for
participants at all of our events. Our events are working conferences intended for professional
networking and collaboration. They exist to encourage the open exchange of ideas and
expression and require an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group. While at
our events or related ancillary or social events, any participants, including speakers, attendees,
volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, booth staff and anyone else, should not engage in harassment in any form
of communication or media including email, texting and social media.
All event participants are expected to behave in accordance with professional standards, with both this
Code of Conduct as well as their respective employer's policies governing appropriate
workplace behavior, and applicable laws.
Harassment will not be tolerated in any form, including but not limited to harassment based on gender,
gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age,
religion or any other status protected by laws in which the conference or program is being held. Harassment
includes the use of abusive, offensive or degrading language, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography
or recording, inappropriate physical contact, sexual imagery and unwelcome sexual advances or requests for
sexual favors. Any report of harassment at one of our events will be addressed immediately.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Anyone who witnesses or is
subjected to unacceptable behavior should notify a conference organizer at once.
Exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material in their booths and must refrain
from the use of sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise creating a sexualized environment.
Speakers should not use sexual language, images, or any language or images that would constitute harassment
as defined above in their talks.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem
appropriate, ranging from issuance of a warning to the offending individual to expulsion from the conference
with no refund, depending on the circumstances. The organizer reserves the right to exclude any participant found
to be engaging in harassing behavior from participating in any further events, trainings or other
activities.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns relating
to harassment, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified
by t-shirts/staff badges onsite; and an organizer can be found at the event registration counter at any
time.
Conference staff will be happy to provide support to participants, including contacting hotel/venue security
or local law enforcement, when appropriate, providing escorts, or otherwise assisting those experiencing
harassment to ensure that they feel safe for the duration of the conference.
We value your attendance.
