Participants will treat each other with respect and consideration to create a collegial, inclusive, and professional environment.

Disruptive or harassing behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment includes but is not limited to inappropriate or intimidating behavior and language, unwelcome jokes or comments, unwanted attention, offensive images, photography without permission, and stalking.


Violations of this code of conduct policy should be reported to conference organizers, NT21 staff, or the NT21 Organizing Committee.
