Summit safety standard
A room worthy
of trust.
Participation requires consent, anti-harassment, privacy, access, and accountable commercial conduct. An announced edition must add named reporting and response operations.

This code applies to attendees, speakers, staff, contractors, volunteers, vendors, partners, sponsors, press, and guests across venues, travel arranged by the event, digital spaces, private event channels, and official social gatherings.
Expected conduct
Respect names, pronouns, boundaries, access needs, consent, time, confidentiality, and good-faith disagreement. Critique ideas and institutions without demeaning people or treating identity as permission to intrude.
Unacceptable conduct
Harassment, stalking, threats, unwanted sexual attention, intimidation, discriminatory abuse, deliberate outing, doxxing, nonconsensual recording, retaliation, dangerous disruption, and repeated boundary violations are prohibited.
Consent, capture, and attribution
A badge or attendance is not consent to touch, interview, photograph, record, publish, tag, or attribute a private conversation. Session-level capture and no-capture boundaries must be visible and enforceable.
Reporting and urgent safety
A future edition must publish confidential reporting channels, an urgent-safety route, response staffing, escalation procedures, and local emergency information before registration opens. Do not use an interest form to report an emergency.
Proportionate response
Responses may include support, separation, warning, content removal, access restriction, ejection, vendor or sponsor action, or referral to emergency services when necessary. Safety and due process are considered; retaliation is prohibited.
Commercial behavior
Credentials, sponsorship, vending, recruiting, fundraising, and press access do not permit data harvesting, undisclosed pitches, aggressive solicitation, or bypassing consent and privacy boundaries.
