Code of conduct

Security BSides Kraków is a conference by the information security community, for the information security community. Facilitating a pleasant atmosphere for all Participants is a core aim of the Security BSides Kraków organisers and as a participant you agree to be bound by the Security BSides Kraków Participant Code-of-Conduct.

Purpose of this Code-of-Conduct:

• To ensure a constructive, inclusive and pleasant atmosphere for all volunteers and Participants of the Security BSides Kraków conference.

• To ensure that all participants know what behaviour they have a right to expect from other Participants, volunteers and organisers.

• To ensure that all participants know what behaviour is expected of them whilst attending the Security BSides Kraków conference.

Respect for Others

Participants will:

• Treat the organisers and volunteers with respect and follow any instructions given. The BSides Kraków volunteers and organisers have given up a significant amount of time to facilitate this conference for the benefit of the Participants.

• Respect the presenters, do not talk among yourselves during their presentations, ensure your mobile phones are muted or switched off once you are attending a presentation, avoid leaving until the end of the presentation, as to minimize disruption to the other Participants and the presenter. Heckling and constant harassment of presenters will not be tolerated.

• Asking questions is what makes this a great community, but do respect the presenter’s method for handling questions (e.g. do not interrupt to comment or jump to ask a question if the presenter prefers questions at the end of the session) and do not monopolise the presenter/speaker (be concious of time and allow other Participants the opportunity to ask questions as well).

• Treat all present at the conference fairly and equally.

• Do not discriminate unlawfully against any person.

• Allow others to express themselves and understand that all views are important even if they are not the same as your own - as long as no offence is caused even if that is unintentional.
