12. Code of Conduct
→ We expect participants to work together to create a
welcoming, inclusive, and safe(r) environment for people from
diverse backgrounds.
→ Don’t discriminate against people because of their identity
(e.g. race, gender, sexuality, age, class background, ability, religion
and more).
→ Physical, sexual, and verbal harassment are unacceptable.

13. Putting the Code of Conduct into Practice
→ Respect people’s boundaries, and ask for consent (i.e. permission)
→ Be careful about the words you use. OpenCon is not a space for
discriminatory or ableist language. Address people by their
preferred pronouns!
→ Be mindful of how much time and space you’re taking up. Be
aware of your power and privilege.
