Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct for Agile Arizona Events

Be kind. Behave professionally.

Code of Conduct

Agile Arizona’s mission is to support people of Arizona and elsewhere who explore and apply Agile values, principles, and practices. We want to ensure a respectful, safe and inclusive environment for everyone, whenever they are engaged in Agile Arizona activities.

We do not tolerate harassing or disrespectful behavior, interactions, messages, or images, by any participant in an Agile Arizona conference or activity, in any form regardless of location or digitally distributed venues.

We encourage everyone to help in creating a welcoming and safe environment. Please report any concerns, harassing behavior, suspicious or disruptive activity using these contact methods.

Agile Arizona reserves the right to refuse admittance to, or remove any person from an activity at any time at its sole discretion.

Detailed Expectations

Who does the Code of Conduct apply to?

Everyone. All participants in any Agile Arizona activity, including attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, contributors etc, are required to agree with and adhere to the code of conduct.

Where and when does this Code of Conduct apply?

Agile Arizona offers many opportunities for our members and the broader community to come together to network and collaborate. These include in-person and online conferences, sponsored events, initiatives, and online contributions. This code of conduct applies in all cases, and covers business and social activities, regardless of location.

What is considered harassment / a breach of the Code of Conduct?

Harassment includes (but is not limited to):

  • intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning conduct;
  • offensive verbal or written comments related to gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, age, religion, political views, technology choices;
  • inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces (including presentation slides);
  • deliberate intimidation, stalking or following;
  • harassing photography or recording;
  • sustained disruption of talks or other events;
  • inappropriate physical contact, or unwelcome sexual attention.

Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any situation, including talks, workshops, special events, meetings, and online presentations. Event sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Virtual or in-person vendor and sponsor staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.

Some in-person event venues are shared with members of the public; please be respectful to all patrons of these locations.

What are the consequences of violating the Code of Conduct?

Agile Arizona staff and event team members will enforce this code throughout all Agile Arizona activities.

Participants in any Agile Arizona activity asked to stop harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the Agile Arizona may take any action it deems appropriate, including reporting to authorities. Agile Arizona reserves the right to refuse admittance to, or remove any person from an activity at any time at its sole discretion. At conferences specifically, participants violating these rules may be expelled from the conference without a refund at the sole discretion of the event staff of Agile Arizona.

When should I seek help or report an incident?

Every incident is important, no matter how minor it might seem at the time. Please seek help as soon as possible for anything you consider harassment or a breach of the Code of Conduct. You should also report all incidents as soon as possible after the incident occurs.

It is everybody’s responsibility to create and maintain a safe and respectful environment. As such, you should report incidents:

  • If it is something that has happened to you
  • If someone shared something with you, or you were with them when it happened
  • If you saw something happen from afar

How do I find help or report an incident?

If you need help, or need to report an incident please contact any of the organizing team of the event. And you can send an email to [email protected]. We will respond promptly.
