To ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone, we ask all attendees to follow a code of conduct during the Summit. Upon completion and payment of your UVSA Summit registration, you have agreed to the following Code of Conduct:

BE KIND
We strive to make the summit a comfortable place for all attendees. Please be kind to one another.

BE A PROFESSIONAL
The event invites presenters from various backgrounds, and it is imperative that we treat them with respect. We ask that pay close attention when they are presenting, not interrupt or distract them, and keep conversations and questions appropriate. Attendees should conduct themselves in a professional manner among other attendees as well.

BE RESPECTFUL
We ask that you respect the privacy of others. Unless clear permission is given, attendees should refrain from tweeting, posting, and publishing content of attendees and presenters.

BE OPEN-MINDED
The summit supports the freedom of expression for all attendees; however, we ask that ideas and thoughts should be expressed in a manner that is clear, free of any assumption, and avoids jargon and acronyms. With that in mind, if a disagreement of ideas and thoughts arises, please be respectful and only engage in meaningful, constructive discourse. 

BE PRESENT
We encourage you to attend as many of the sessions and family events as possible to ensure the best experience.

ZERO TOLERANCE
UVSA does not tolerate any form of harassment, discrimination, violence, and misconduct. Any unwanted physical contact and insinuation of a sexual nature; use of images, drawings, or visual representations objectifying a gender; use of any language or actions that discriminate against others by gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, physical appearance, disability, and age; verbal threats, complaints, and intimidation; stalking; and harassment (physical or psychological) will lead to removal from the event without refund.

ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS
Please do not record or screenshot any conversations and sessions during the event. Additionally, please do not share virtual links to non-attendees.

We expect all attendees to follow this code of conduct to ensure a fun and safe summit experience for everyone in attendance. If you are found to have violated any of the guidelines above, consequences may follow, including, but not limited to, dismissal from the rest of the event without a refund. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. We are so excited to have you at our summit. Thank you for your cooperation!
