All attendees, speakers, Partners and volunteers at our conference are kindly asked to adopt the following code of conduct, and are required to agree to the Anti-Harassment Policy. We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Be friendly, patient, welcoming and considerate; be respectful, use appropriate language, and avoid discriminatory behavior or expressions. In particular, harassment is unacceptable; our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment free conference experience for everyone, and participants violating the Anti-Harassment Policy may be sanctioned or even expelled from the conference, at the discretion of the conference organisers.

The Full Version

Be friendly and welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities.

Be patient and considerate. We all want to have fun teaching and learning, and a cooperative atmosphere will make us more productive.

Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. Refrain from personal attacks, and be respectful when dealing with other members of the Python community as well as with people outside it.

Use appropriate language, and avoid discriminatory behavior. Everybody is welcome to this conference, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof).

We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Organisers will enforce the Anti-Harassment Policy throughout the event.

Anti-Harassment Policy

Harassment includes offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion (or lack thereof); deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties and online media.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Partners are also subject to the Anti-Harassment Policy. In particular, Partners should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or even expulsion from the conference.

Need Help?

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

We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference related social events.
