Our Code

This Code of Conduct applies to all participants, attendees, partners, sponsors, speakers, moderators, vendors, organizers, and volunteers (“Event Members”) at any Vercel event or associated forum. All Event Members must comply with this Code of Conduct, which will be enforced throughout our events. If you violate these rules, you may be expelled from our events at our discretion. Event Members are responsible for their own actions. Vercel employees must continue to abide by all company policies and internal Code of Conduct at all times.

We do not tolerate any behavior that would reasonably lead to any Event Member being made to feel unsafe, insecure, or frightened for their physical or emotional well-being.

This means that Event Members can contribute to a positive environment by:

• ✅ Respecting others and their opinions and viewpoints, even if different from your own
• ✅ Displaying empathy and kindness towards all Event Members
• ✅ Engaging in communications and discourse appropriate for a diverse, professional audience, including having polite, nonjudgmental, and constructive discussions that stay focused on the topic
• ✅ Complying with our event instructions and requirements, the Event Terms and Conditions, and all applicable laws.

Behavior that we deem unacceptable includes:

• ❌ Making discriminatory, abusive, derogatory, or otherwise offensive remarks, including personal or political attacks, harassment (whether private or public), discrimination, profanity, or other abusive or vulgar language, and the promotion of negative sentiments against others regardless of joking or harmless intent
• ❌ Using sexualized language or making nonconsensual sexual/nonsexual advances
• ❌ Using another person's property without their permission
• ❌ Sharing confidential information to Event Members or the public
• ❌ Posting content multiple times, spamming irrelevant content in the same medium, trolling, or sustained disruption of talks or other scheduled programming
• ❌ Conducting yourself in any other manner that could be interpreted as inappropriate in a professional setting.
