Code of Conduct

1. Purpose

JSWORLD Conferences is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, welcoming, and harassment-free environment for all participants—regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. This Code of Conduct outlines expected behavior and consequences for unacceptable conduct at all of our events.

2. Scope

This Code of Conduct applies to all attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, staff, and third parties who interact with JSWORLD Conferences—whether onsite at our physical venues, during virtual events, or through any official online or community channels, including social media, workshops, and social gatherings.

3. Expected Behavior

Be respectful and considerate in speech and actions.
Listen with empathy and engage with openness to different experiences and perspectives.
Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
Respect personal boundaries and space—physical, emotional, and digital.
Support fellow attendees—look out for each other and speak up when something isn’t right.

4. Unacceptable Behavior

Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to:

Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form.
Offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, appearance, race, ethnicity, religion, or technology choices.

6. Anti-Racism Commitment

JSWORLD Conferences maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward racism. We affirm the importance of mutual respect and equal treatment for all participants, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, age, or any other protected attribute. Racism in any form—verbal, visual, behavioral—will result in immediate expulsion without refund.

7. Enforcement

If someone asks you to stop unacceptable behavior, comply immediately.
The organizers may take any action deemed appropriate, including verbal warnings, expulsion without refund, and involvement of local authorities if necessary.
Organizers may address behavior that disrupts the event or makes the environment feel hostile, even if not specifically listed in this document.

8. Reporting Incidents
