Anti-Harassment Policy
The CONversation Fandom Event Planner's Conference (referred to as ConvoCon) 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. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at:
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
Offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or other characteristic or demographic.
Deliberate intimidation.
Stalking.
Following.
Harassing photography, recording, or social media communications regarding any programming participant, attendee, or ConvoCon agent.
Sustained disruption of talks or other events.
Inappropriate or unwelcome physical contact.
Unwelcome sexual attention.
Continued contact, conversation, photography, videography, or other attention after an individual has asked you to stop or leave them alone.
The display or distribution of sexually related materials.
Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
Other actions as determined by ConvoCon and its agents on a case-by-case basis.
All decisions regarding whether a particular action is to be deemed harassment shall be made solely by ConvoCon and its authorized agents. Individuals asked to stop any prohibited behaviors are expected to comply immediately, regardless of whether an attendee or convention staff makes the request.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the convention organizers may, but are not obligated to, take any action they deem appropriate, including expelling the offender from the convention without refund and refusing to sell the offender a membership badge for any or all future conventions. ConvoCon also reserves the right to notify site security or local law enforcement of any unacceptable and/or illegal behavior. ConvoCon does not assume any responsibility for the actions of its participants or vendors.
When making a report, please be aware that conference staff may need assistance identifying the offender. Providing a clear physical description (approximate height, weight, clothing or cosplay, etc.), identifying features, and/or badge information will assist us greatly.
If you feel that you have been harassed in violation of the law, authorized ConvoCon agents (who can be identified by the gold sticker on their badge) can assist you in contacting local law enforcement on your request. The safety and security of all attendees and guests at ConvoCon are our top priorities.
