How we treat each other here

Be the kind of person other people are glad to have in the room. Assume the person you are talking to knows something you do not. When someone tells you to stop, stop.

• Treat questions as genuine. Everyone here is at a different point with this stuff, and 'you should already know that' helps nobody.
• Give people room in conversations — especially in roundtables, where a couple of loud voices can quietly end the discussion for everyone else.
• Ask before photographing someone, and respect the opt-out lanyards.
• Respect the badge colours: some attendees have asked not to be approached by recruiters or vendors.
• Critique the architecture, not the person who built it. Most of us have shipped something we would not defend today.

• Harassment of any kind, including comments about someone's gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, or appearance.
• Unwanted physical contact or sustained attention after someone has disengaged.
• Sexual imagery or language in talks, slides, stands, or swag.
• Intimidation, stalking, or following someone around the venue.
• Deliberately disrupting talks, clinics, or other sessions.
• Recording or sharing anything from a clinic or roundtable, which are explicitly off the record.

Find any organiser — we wear bright coral lanyards and staff the registration desk all day. You can also email loop@n8n-events.example, which reaches the organising team directly during the event.

You do not need to have the full picture, and you do not need to be certain it "counts". Tell us what happened and we will take it from there. We will not make you confront the other person, and we will not share your name without asking you first.

The organising team decides what is proportionate. Depending on what happened, that can mean a private word, moving someone away from a session, revoking a badge without a refund, removing a sponsor from the floor, or involving venue security or the police.

We would rather act early and be told we overreacted than leave someone to handle it alone.

Signing a speaker or sponsor agreement means agreeing to this document. Stand staff are bound by it too — including how they run badge scanning and prize draws. If your booth activity depends on pressuring people, do not book it.

This document borrows its structure from the community codes of conduct that most technical conferences have converged on over the past decade, rewritten in our own words for this event.
