To foster a professional and harassment-free environment at SAFE and the Electrification Coalition (EC) events, the following Event Code of Conduct applies to all community members which include attendees, speakers, sponsors, vendors, and staff for the duration of attended events.  

It is SAFE and the Electrification Coalition’s policy to prohibit intentional and unintentional harassment of or against community members on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth and pregnancy-related conditions), gender identity or expression (including transgender status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical or mental disability, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local laws (referred to as “protected characteristics”). Such conduct will not be tolerated by SAFE and the Electrification Coalition. 

At all times, community members are expected to abide by the Code of Conduct, specifically: 

• Interact with one another with the utmost respect. 

• Never engage in unwelcome verbal, visual or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion towards an individual because of any actual or perceived protected characteristic or has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s participation at the event or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. 

• Always keep your badge in full view (where applicable). 

• While photos and some brief recordings for social media purposes is permitted, extensive recording of the event requires written authorization, and SAFE/EC reserves the right to interrupt or confiscate unauthorized recordings. 

• Obey all applicable laws and regulations of the relevant government authorities while attending a SAFE or EC event and comply with all applicable safety guidelines.

Violations of this Code of Conduct should be reported to a SAFE or EC staff member or can be submitted to jburman@secureenergy.org. SAFE and EC will keep the reporting individual’s concerns confidential; however, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, and the reporting individual’s identity may need to be revealed as the claim is investigated. Anyone, regardless of position or title, determined to violate this Event Code of Conduct will be subject to removal from the event and possibly denied attendance at any future SAFE or EC event.
