Code of Conduct

At KOALA Conference 2024, we are dedicated to providing a conference that is welcoming and safe for all participants regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, and religion (or lack thereof). We will not tolerate any form of discrimination and harassment of conference participants in any form. Adherence to this Code of Conduct is a requirement for all KOALA conference participants and covers all aspects of this conference including conference sessions, social events, and all communications (social media/emails).

The unacceptable behaviours include, but are not limited to:

• Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form.

• Unwelcome sexual attention or advances during social networking sessions

• Inappropriate and/or unwanted physical contact.

• Intimidation, threats, or any form of abuse (physical or verbal)

• Disruptive or disrespectful behaviour during conference sessions or events.

• Retaliation against individuals who report violations of the code of conduct.
