AffiliateCon India is committed to providing a welcoming, safe, and harassment-free experience for everyone — regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neurotype, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or technology choices.
This code applies to all attendees, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, staff, volunteers, and contractors — at the venue, after-parties, hotels, online channels (Slack, Telegram, event app), and anywhere AffiliateCon India business is being conducted.
What we expect
- Be respectful. Disagree without attacking the person.
- Be inclusive. Use language that welcomes people from any background.
- Mind the room. If someone asks you to stop, stop.
