Code of conduct

Short version

Be a leader.

Be respectful of others, ask people to stop if you are bothered, and attempt to resolve issues without Organizers. However, if you can't resolve an issue, you can contact the Organizers.

If you violate this Code of Conduct, it will be made clear to you, and you may be asked to leave the L8Conf

Long version:

The L8Conf is an encouraging community dedicated to developing the craft of leadership. The L8Conf is an inclusive environment that treats all individuals respectfully, regardless of their background, identity, or position.

We value respectful behaviour above individual opinions.

Respectful behaviour includes but is not limited to:

Be considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful.

Avoid demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, or physically threatening behaviour, speech, and imagery.

Due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, and traditions of others.

If you need clarification on whether a communication, action, or behaviour is respectful, ask the source instead of assuming. No, really. If you don't find clarity, ask your peers or contact Organisers. We'd rather hear from you than hear about something you said or did after the fact, and we are here to help.

Don't be a bystander; be a leader. Role model respectful behaviour, but also help to address disrespect when you see it within your community.

Disrespectful behaviour outside this community by active members may be considered a violation of this code of conduct at the administrators' discretion.

When participants are asked to stop any harassing behaviour they are expected to cease immediately. Participants found engaging in harassing behaviour might be asked to leave an event area and may be banned for an undefined amount of time. No refunds will be issued when a participant is found in breach of these rules.

Any harassing behaviour can be reported to staff members with ‘TEAM’ or ‘STAFF’ badges or via email to [email protected].

This Code of Conduct is based upon RLS CoC
