TPI EVENT CODE OF CONDUCT TPI is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for participants at all of our events. TPI events are working conferences intended for professional networking and collaboration. TPI events, related ancillary, or social events, any participants, including members, speakers, attendees, volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, booth staff and anyone else, should not engage in harassment in any form. This Code of Conduct may be revised at any time by TPI and the terms are non-negotiable. Your registration for or attendance at any TPI event indicates your agreement to abide by this policy and its terms.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR All event participants are expected to behave in accordance with professional standards, with both this Code of Conduct as well as their respective employer’s policies governing appropriate workplace behavior and applicable laws.

UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR Harassment will not be tolerated in any form, including, but not limited to, harassment based on gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion or any other status protected by laws in which the conference or program is being held. Harassment includes the use of abusive, offensive or degrading language, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, sexual imagery and unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors. Any report of harassment at one of our events will be addressed immediately. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Anyone who witnesses or is subjected to unacceptable behavior should notify a conference organizer at once. Individuals who participate (or plan to participate) in TPI events should conduct themselves at all times in a manner that comports with both the letter and spirit of this policy prohibiting harassment and abusive behavior, whether before, during or after the event. This includes statements made in social media postings, online publications, text messages, and all other forms of electronic communication.

Exhibitors wishing to enter another Exhibitor’s area may do so only if invited. and under no circumstances should they disrupt another exhibitor’s space, audience, presentation, business, etc. in or near their space at any time during the Event.

CONSEQUENCES OF UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR If a participant engages in unacceptable behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate depending on the circumstances, ranging from issuance of a warning to the offending individual to expulsion from the conference with no refund. TPI reserves the right to exclude any participant found to be engaging in harassing behavior from participating in any further events, trainings or other activities. If a participant (or individual wishing to participate in a TPI event), through postings on social media or other online publications or another form of electronic communication, engages in conduct that violates this policy, whether before, during or after a TPI event, TPI may take appropriate corrective action, which could include imposing a temporary or permanent ban on an individual’s participation in future TPI events.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU WITNESS OR ARE SUBJECT TO UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns relating to harassment, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified by t-shirts/staff badges onsite; and an organizer can be found at the event registration counter at any time. You are also encouraged to contact Liz Lonsbrough, event organizer at liz@turfgrasssod.org at anytime.
