CODE OF CONDUCT
Scope
It is a condition of participating in any VCTCE event that the following code of conduct be observed by all attendees, speakers, hosts, sponsors and volunteers. Your cooperation will help ensure an enjoyable and safe experience for everybody.
Expected Behaviour
Be considerate, respectful, and co-operative. This includes following organiser and host instructions regarding safety or other matters, and taking care not to damage other’s property.
Be mindful of your surroundings and ensure your actions or behaviour does not negatively impact the safety and comfort of other event participants.
Participate in an authentic and active way. Share when relevant and listen when appropriate.
Unacceptable Behaviour
Unacceptable behaviours include: intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning conduct by any attendees, sponsors, speakers, staff or patrons of the VCTCE event.
Consultants and service providers are not permitted to hand out marketing material (e.g. brochures) during VCTCE events or otherwise aggressively promote their services to hosts, speakers and/or attendees.
Consultants and service providers must respect the fact that event attendees may have come to the event in order to learn, not necessarily to network or buy services. Therefore they should not persist in promoting their services to an event attendee, event host and/or speaker unless invited to specifically do so.
Consequences of Unacceptable Behaviour
Unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated, whether by attendees, speakers, organisers, venue staff, sponsors, or other patrons of VCTCE events.
If a participant engages in unacceptable behaviour, the VCTCE event host may take any action they deem appropriate, including expulsion from the event without warning or refund.
What to Do If You Witness or Are Subject To Unacceptable Behaviour
If you are subject to unacceptable behaviour, notice that someone else is being subject to unacceptable behaviour, or have any other concerns, please notify the VCTCE representative or VCTCE office as soon as possible.
