Introduction
The Wesnet 7th Technology Safety Summit (TSAU26) is dedicated to providing a harassment-free, safe, and fulfilling Summit experience for everyone. This is underpinned by the Guiding Principles and Core Values of Wesnet (The Women’s Services Network) Inc.

Commitment to safety
The Hosts and the Tech Summit Organisers of TSAU26 are committed to providing a Summit that is welcoming and safe for all Participants (i.e. attendees, speakers, guests, sponsors, suppliers and volunteers), is free from unlawful discrimination and harassment, and where all Participants are treated with dignity and respect.
Harassment is unlawful under both federal and all Australian state anti-discrimination laws, and as such, people suspected of such misconduct may be reported to authorities.

Code of conduct
Adherence to this Code of conduct is a requirement for all TSAU26 Participants, and covers all aspects of this Summit, including Summit sessions and breaks, all social events and all communication, including that via email or social media (including but not limited to Facebook and X) associated with the Summit. Unacceptable behaviour includes, but is not limited to:
- Harassment, including behaviour targeting an individual or group’s gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, political preference, religion, age, national origin, gender identity or expression, or physical appearance.
- Inappropriate and/or unwanted physical contact.
- Unwelcome sexual attention, which can include inappropriate questions of a sexual nature, asking for sexual favours or repeatedly asking for dates or contact information.
- Stalking or deliberate intimidation.
- Unwanted photography or recording (if you are asked to stop photographing or recording someone, please do so; if someone indicates that they do not want to be photographed or recorded, do not record or photograph them).
- Discriminatory or sexual images in public spaces.
- Sustained or wilful disruption of talks or other events.
- Deliberate action to disrupt the Conference.

Consequences of violations
Tech Summit Participants who violate these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the Summit without a refund, at the discretion of the Hosts and the Tech Summit Organisers.
The Hosts and the Tech Summit Organisers will enforce this code throughout the Summit. We expect cooperation from all Participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Reporting and support
Any Participant asked to stop any harassing behaviour is expected to comply with any directives issued by the Hosts and/or the Tech summit Organisers immediately.
If a Participant engages in harassing behaviour, the Hosts and the Tech Summit Organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the Summit with no refund.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the Tech Summit events coordinator ([email protected]).
