Code of Conduct

Codemotion is a community of developers that wants to make resources and contents dedicated to professional training available through its platform. We organize events to share quality content and networking moments. To ensure that anyone can feel comfortable and at ease we apply the following code of conduct to each moment organized or supported by Codemotion.

Below you will find:

Short version

We appreciate the participation of every single person in the community and want every participant to have an enjoyable, inclusive, respectful of differences and harassment-free conference experience, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, build, ethnicity or religion. No type of harassment, in any form, towards other people will be tolerated during every single event organized and sponsored by Codemotion.

All communications must be appropriate for a professional audience that includes people from different backgrounds. Sexualized / sexist language / images are not appropriate on any occasion.

Anyone who violates these rules of conduct may be asked to leave the conference without refund, at the sole discretion of the organizing team.

Pay attention to the words you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and other jokes are offensive to those around you. Swearing and offensive jokes are never appropriate.

We apply this code of conduct to…

To clarify what is expected, every person involved as a participant, speaker, sponsor, staff in any Codemotion event is invited to comply with the following Code of Conduct which will be in force throughout the event and within every space (physical or virtual) in which all community members will interact.

These indications also apply to those who participate on behalf of the sponsoring companies, who must not for any reason use images, activities or other material of a sexual nature.

Personnel involved in sponsor booths / stands must not use sexualized clothing / uniforms / costumes or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

Are you witnessing a violation or are you not comfortable with something that happened?

If you receive harassment, if you notice that any participant is being harassed or have other concerns, please, contact a Codemotion team member.

The team will be happy to help each participant contact hotel / venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts or otherwise, and help those who suffer harassment feel safe for the duration of the event.

In in-person events, you recognize the people on the team because they are wearing the staff t-shirt with Codemotion logo. You can also contact the venue staff and ask to be put in touch with the people responsible for the conference.

In online events, you can contact the organizing staff by looking for people registered as “name – Codemotion Team”, or you can contact us by sending an email to community@codemotion.it.
