Conference principles and values
The Conference encourages debate and dialogue as key elements of participation among all Conference participants, including delegates, sponsors, speakers and exhibitors.
All participants are expected to adhere to the following principles and values:
• Be respectful and considerate.
• Be mindful of words chosen and how they may affect others.
• Be patient.
• Speak freely, and when in disagreement, try to understand the perspectives of others. This list is not exhaustive but describes key principles to be taken in the spirit intended. It is a guide for mutually respectful and open participation in the Conference.
The Conference organisers oppose:
• Disruption of interactive spaces that results in the inability for dialogue and debate to take place.
• Any actions perceived to contain threat of force or verbal harassment.
• Cyberbullying or trolling.
These principles and values apply to all parts of the Conference including Conference presentation sessions, networking sessions, exhibition and online events. The principles guide all communication and conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, slides, videos, signs or any images displayed in these spaces and interactions. In addition, egregious violations of these principles outside these spaces may, in rare cases, affect a person’s ability to participate within them.
