Each conference we run has an anti-harassment policy in place with contact information local to that conference.
This particular policy was geared towards the last physical conference we ran in Portland, Oregon.

----------------------------

ComicsPRO Comic Industry conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion

We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, without a refund, at the discretion of the conference organizers. 

Harassment includes, but is not limited to:

• Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination including but not limited to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion.

• Sexual images in public spaces

• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following

• Photography or recording without consent

• Sustained disruption of talks or other events

• Inappropriate physical contact

• Unwelcome sexual attention

• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

Enforcement

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning or expelling the offender from the conference, with no refund.

Event organizers will take action to redress anything which disrupts the event or makesthe environment hostile for any participants (whether intentional or unintentional).

We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social activities. We think people should follow these rules outside event activities too!
