Conference Code of Conduct

MiXiT organizers are committed to building an inclusive event in which each one of us is welcome. Thus, all attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers attending our conference are required to agree to the following code of conduct.

Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event and can be contacted at any moment by the victim or the witness of a situation that violates this code of conduct. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Our conference is committed to providing an experience free from any harassment or violence, regardless of your sexual identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, weight, ethnic origin, or religion.

Sexist and sexual behaviors are strictly prohibited. Content with sexual connotations or promoting gender stereotypes is not appropriate at our event.

These rules apply to the entire event, including conferences, workshops, social gatherings, social media, and other online platforms.

We will take immediate action against anyone violating these rules.

The organization is committed to enforcing immediate sanctions against individuals who violate these rules. Any misconduct reported during or after the event, or occurring outside the scope of the event and brought to our attention, will result in immediate and permanent exclusion from the current edition and any future events organized by our association, with no possibility of refund or legal recourse.

The Less Quick Version

Harassment includes verbal or written comments about sexual identity, gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, weight, ethnic origin, religion, sexually suggestive images in public places, deliberate intimidation, stalking, pursuit, photographic or video harassment, a series of interruptions during conferences and other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwanted sexual advances.

Participants who are asked to stop any harassing behavior must do so immediately.

Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. Specifically, sponsors must not use sexually suggestive images or materials. They must also refrain from engaging in sexually suggestive activities. The booth staff must not wear sexually suggestive clothing, uniforms, or costumes. They must also not create a sexualized environment.

In response to harassing behavior, the conference organizing team may take any action they deem appropriate. This ranges from a simple warning to immediate and permanent exclusion from the current edition and any future events organized by our association, with no possibility of refund or legal recourse.

If you feel harassed, if you believe someone is being harassed, or if you encounter any other issues, please contact the event organizing team immediately. They are easily identifiable by their attire (t-shirts and hoodies).

In cases of sexist and sexual violence, members of the organizing team who have been trained in collecting testimonies will be identifiable by wearing a specific badge and will be able to assist you in further steps. A dedicated and anonymous communication channel will also be available during the event.

Organizers may contact building security or law enforcement; provide an escort; and otherwise assist individuals experiencing harassment to ensure their safety throughout the event.

We aim to make the event a safe environment for everyone, and we expect everyone to respect these rules throughout the event, including during conferences, workshops, social gatherings, as well as on social media and other online platforms.
