Code of Conduct

All members, attendees, organisers, speakers, sponsors and volunteers involved in Agile Finland are required to agree with the following this code of conduct. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a respectful, safe and inclusive environment for everybody.

The Quick Version

Be kind to others, behave professionally, respect diversity and behave using inclusion.

The Longer Version

Enforcement

Event organisers are responsible for ensuring that the Code of Conduct is followed and enforced. Event organizers may remove people who are violating the Code of Conduct from the event. 

According to Agile Finland’s enforcement policy participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no refund. Also any contracted partner (including speakers) behaving against this code of conduct has no right to claim any expenses or fees.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the event organizers immediately at agiletampere@agile.fi.

We expect all participants to follow these rules at all events.
