Equity is one of Crossbeam’s core values — and that extends to the events we organize.

We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free event for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment or abusive behavior to anyone including attendees, speakers, and conference staff. We ask that all participants support this atmosphere. Anyone found to be violating our conference rules can be expelled at the discretion of organizers without a refund. This Event Code of Conduct applies to all event spaces, whether in-person or virtual, including talks, workshops, networking sessions, chats, and forums.

• Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

• Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

• If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of event staff immediately or by emailing events@crossbeam.com with the subject line “Conduct” and your location.

• Event staff will be happy to help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference.

The Crossbeam event code of conduct is ever-evolving and all feedback is welcome. Please email our team at legal@crossbeam.com with any conduct-related questions.
