CODE OF CONDUCT
DazzleCon is committed to providing a welcoming and harassment-free environment for participants of all races, genders and identifications, sexual orientations, physical abilities, physical appearances, beliefs, and beyond. We’ve created this code of conduct to support the building of a respectful and equitable community space. All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff are required to adhere to the following code of conduct, whether they’re at the conference venue or conference-related social events.
We value curiosity, empathy, and compassion and value all voices and perspectives. Be considerate and kind in speech and actions, and actively seek to acknowledge and respect the boundaries of other attendees. Be mindful and take care of each other. Alert a member of the conference team if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this code of conduct, even if they seem inconsequential.
Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. Harassment and other exclusionary behaviors aren’t acceptable. These include, but are not limited to: deliberate intimidation; stalking; unwanted photography or recording; sustained or willful disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual attention; and use of sexual or discriminatory imagery, comments, or jokes. As such, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and other discriminatory language or actions will not be tolerated.
Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, the venues, associated online networks, and all future events without a refund at the discretion of DazzleCon organizers. If you feel you have been unfairly accused of violating this code of conduct, you should contact the conference team with a concise description of your grievance; any grievances filed will be considered by the entire DazzleCon team.
If you feel that someone has harassed you or otherwise treated you inappropriately, please alert any member of the conference team, or call/text Rachel @ 559-430-5618.
PHOTO/VIDEO POLICY
We will be taking photos on-site at DazzleCon, as well as recording video. We have three colored lanyards to choose from, each of which denotes your photo and video preference. Black lanyards indicate that you’re okay with photos and video being taken of you. If your lanyard is grey, photographers and videographers will ask your permission. If your lanyard is RED, that means no photos with you in them will be used (and of course, nobody will ask to take your photo or video, as they already know the answer). This photo policy does not apply to large group photos where faces are not a focus.
The sessions on stage will be audio-recorded for posterity.
