Code of Conduct
EDUCAUSE seeks to create safe and inclusive environments for all individuals to network, learn, and share. As a community we do not tolerate discrimination, abuse, or harassment of any kind by anyone at our events. Prohibited behaviors include, but are not limited to, harassment or intimidation based on race, religion, language, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, appearance, or other group status; sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual attention, stalking (physical or virtual), or unsolicited physical contact; and disorderly or disruptive actions in sessions, the exhibit hall, or in other conference venues. EDUCAUSE reserves the right at its sole discretion to expel anyone, without refund, whose conduct is not in keeping with these expectations.
If you feel threatened or at risk of physical harm or are involved in or witness an emergency situation, please immediately dial 9-1-1 and ask for help from staff/on-site security. If you feel you have been subject to harassment, please contact an EDUCAUSE staff member.
Event Age Restriction
To ensure an environment appropriate for professional learning, for safety and liability reasons, and to reserve session space for paid attendees, children are not allowed at EDUCAUSE events. During all active operating hours of the EDUCAUSE event, no one under 16 years of age will be permitted to attend sessions, visit the exhibit hall (if one is offered—including move-in and move-out times) or enter the conference venue unless (1) that person is a presenter and registered participant, and (2) is accompanied by an adult chaperone. Strollers or infant carriers (worn or carried) are not permitted at any time in the exhibit hall or in event sessions. EDUCAUSE reserves the right to request proof of age from anyone at any time and to revoke a badge or deny attendance of any registered participants who are under 16.
Recording, Streaming, and Photography
Common courtesy dictates that attendees must obtain any presenter’s permission to post, record, or stream their session or activity in any medium or social media channel (including, but not limited to, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat, Periscope, Facebook, and YouTube). Recording/streaming for commercial purposes is allowed only with prior written permission from both EDUCAUSE and the presenter(s). EDUCAUSE reserves the right to ask any participant to move within or to leave a session venue if their use of technology is disruptive to presenters or other participants.
Please Note: By attending the conference, you are agreeing to allow images, audio, and video of you recorded on site by EDUCAUSE personnel to be used for educational and promotional purposes. Please contact [email protected] with questions.
Gratuities and Gifts
Giveaways and drawings are permitted at EDUCAUSE events. Conference attendees are responsible for assuring they are in compliance with their institution’s guidelines for accepting gifts.
