Code of conduct

All Things Web is a place to learn, build, share, and connect on equal footing. Whether you are new to tech or have spent years building it, you deserve respect and room to participate.

These expectations apply to attendees, speakers, organizers, volunteers, and hosting companies at our events and in our community spaces. Job title, reputation, and hosting contributions do not give anyone special treatment.

How we show up

  • Be curious and considerate. Ask questions, listen, share what you know, and make room for others.
  • Discuss ideas without belittling the people behind them. Respect boundaries and stop when someone asks you to.
  • Share useful work and honest lessons. No shilling, sales pitches, or pressure to buy, invest, or hand over contact details.
  • Ask before photographing or recording someone directly, and respect requests not to be included or tagged.
  • Help keep the venue welcoming and accessible. Follow reasonable venue and organizer instructions.

Behavior we do not accept

Harassment, discrimination, threats, stalking, intimidation, unwanted sexual attention or contact, sharing private information without permission, and repeated disruption are not welcome. Neither is retaliation against someone who raises a concern or helps address one.

Report a concern

You can speak privately to an organizer at an event or email:

If your concern involves one organizer, contact the other directly. You do not need to confront the person involved before asking for help. Share what happened, when and where, and how we can contact you safely. Reports will be handled discreetly, with information shared only as needed to respond.

These email addresses are not an emergency service. If there is immediate danger, contact local emergency services or venue staff.

How we respond

Organizers will listen, consider the circumstances, and take proportionate action. This may include a conversation, a warning, asking someone to stop or leave, or restricting participation in future events or community spaces. Someone who is the subject of a report should not decide its outcome. You can use the contacts above to ask about a decision or raise a concern about how it was handled.
