Our event code of conduct

Having a great event experience

We want everyone who comes to our events to have a great experience. Whether you are attending, speaking, exhibiting, sponsoring or working with or for us, our focus is on creating an environment and experience that everyone can participate in and benefit from.

Safety, respect and consideration are integral to this. While issues are rare, we want to be clear about the standards and expectations in place at our events, wherever they are held, because actions can impact others, and everyone has a role to play in getting it right.

This code explains our expectations and rules, which includes general good practice behaviour, and how to report anything witnessed or experienced that goes against them. Anyone not following these rules or behaving in an unacceptable way will be asked – and expected – to stop doing so immediately and may be removed from the event.

Comfort & safety at live events

  • Never act in a way that puts your own or other participants’ health, safety or security at risk.
  • Review local and national health guidance before attending and follow any requirements.
  • If you have a fever or other symptoms that may put others at risk of becoming ill, we encourage you not to attend. Contact the event team to discuss other ways to take part.
  • Follow all health, safety and security processes including emergency procedures and access protocols such as any age limits. Do not assist others to circumvent these.
  • Do not alter or obscure any safety signage, obstruct any exits, or misuse or move any equipment provided for everyone’s safety and protection.
  • Help us by reporting any unsafe behaviour, security risks or hazards immediately to justine.matthys@informa.com

A respectful environment

We have zero tolerance towards any verbal or physical threats, harassment, violence or abuse at any live, on-demand, official auxiliary events or community sites. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes:

  • Discrimination on the basis of any protected category.This criteria includes but isn’t limited to race, sex, age, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, disability and marital status.
  • Offensive language and gestures, whether it is verbal harassment or abuse, sexually explicit language or gestures, profanity, obscenity or racial, religious or ethnic slurs.
  • Any inappropriate or offensive materials, and any content that is intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning, including the inappropriate use of nudity or sexual images in public spaces.
  • Sexual harassment, including inappropriate physical contact and unwelcome sexual attention whether verbal, physical or otherwise, in person or online.
  • Stalking, or behaviour that causes apprehension to others including following, photography, and recording.
  • Threats, intimidating and threatening behaviour, whether verbal, physical or written, including menacing gestures.
  • Physical harassment, threats and acts of violence, including pushing, shoving and the use of any physical force.
  • Possession or display of any weapon or other item used to threaten or intimidate.
  • Deliberately damaging the venue or other people’s property.
  • Assembling for the purpose of disturbing the peace or committing an offence.

Participation & engagement

We want everyone to be able to participate and fully engage in our events in comfort. Disrupting all or part of any live or on-demand event, whether physically or verbally, in a sustained or deliberate way, goes against this.

  • Do not deliberately prevent others from attending or participating in any portion of the event.
  • Do not heckle or catcall, or interrupt others in a sustained or disruptive way, whether verbally, with music or other noise or behaviour.
  • Never act in a way that endangers others or prevent them from acting safely.
