Code Of Conduct
A safe space for everybody attending
Swiss PGDay 2026 is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone.
We do not tolerate harassment of Swiss PGDay 2026 participants of staff in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including exhibition booths, talks, chat groups and social events around Swiss PGDay 2026. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the Swiss PGDay 2026 conference organizers.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, displaying sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the Swiss PGDay 2026 conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including ejection from the conference with no refund. If you feel that you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a Swiss PGDay 2026 Staff Member immediately.
Swiss PGDay 2026 Staff will be happy to help participants contact the police, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference.
Thank you for your help in making Swiss PGDay 2026 fun and enjoyable for everyone!
Privacy
Swiss PGDay operates a "Red Lanyard" scheme that is designed to help you maintain your privacy at our events. When you collect your badge upon arrival at the conference, you will be able to select either a red or blue lanyard. Choosing a red lanyard will indicate to the event organisers and other attendees that you do not wish to have your photograph taken and posted on social media or on other public sites.
We will make every effort to honour your wishes, and we ask all attendees to do the same. It is, however, a 'best effort' system and sometimes a red lanyard may not be spotted before a picture is posted publicly. In cases where this happens, please reach out to either the person who posted the picture or to the conference organisers to request that the picture be removed.
