Be nice to each other

We trust that attendees will treat each other in a way that reflects the widely held view that diversity and friendliness are strengths of our community to be celebrated and fostered.

Furthermore, we believe attendees have a right to:

• be treated with courtesy, dignity and respect;
• be free from any form of discrimination, victimization, harassment or bullying;
• enjoy an environment free from unwelcome behavior, inappropriate language and unsuitable imagery.

Be professional and don’t spam

Professional events are a great setting to showcase the work of the community and would like to encourage networking and business related discussions, as well as keep the conference presentations meaningful and interesting for everyone.

We therefore:

• only allow company marketing or recruiting related activities at the conference in accordance with our sponsor agreements;
• request presentations - outside the official recruiting sessions - to focus on Python related topics, not on recruitment.

Organizers will be happy to answer any questions related to marketing or recruiting activities.
