for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance,

It also includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, or religion.
- Participation in any meeting-related event while impaired or intoxicated will not be tolerated.
- All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience of people from many different backgrounds. Sexual, violent, and disrespectful language and imagery are not appropriate.
- Be kind to others. Do not disrespect, insult, or put down other attendees and/or their research.
Participants asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event at the sole discretion of the organizers without a refund of any charge.
