All attendees will be treated in a professional and courteous manner and we expect all attendees to treat the invited speakers, support staff and event coordinators in the same manner by adhering to the following Code of Conduct at all our events.

Attendees must:

 Treat others with respect, dignity, and concern for their well-being
 Comply with staff’s reasonable instruction and rules so that staff may perform their duties to the best of their ability
 Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech
 Refrain from smoking, including E-cigarettes and vaping
 Refrain from displaying violent behaviour
 Refrain from excessive consumption of alcohol

The list above is not exhaustive and individuals should be aware that their conduct may still be considered prohibited even if it does not specifically appear in the outlined list.

The department reserves the right to remove any attendee from the event premises should they fail to adhere to this Code of Conduct and the provisions within the UBC Statement on Respectful Environment for Students, Faculty and Staff.

As the Statement affirms, “The best possible environment for working, learning and living is one in which respect, civility, diversity, opportunity and inclusion are valued.” We are committed to upholding these values to ensure a positive experience for all.
