We expect all bbcon participants, presenters, sponsors, employees, and staff to:

  • Recognize that bbcon is a place for diversity of thought, organization, and individuals; as such, respect and inclusivity for all is expected
  • Wear your bbcon badge at all times
  • Be alert and report any discriminatory, harassing, aggressive, or exclusionary behavior or speech to event staff immediately

 

Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable behavior includes, but is not limited to: intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning conduct; inappropriate physical contact (e.g., unwelcome sexual advances, groping, sexual assault); physical, written, verbal, or other abuse, as determined by the event organizer and its representatives, in their sole discretion; failing to obey any rules or regulations of the venue and Blackbaud.

 

Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated. Anyone engaged in unacceptable behavior is subject to expulsion from bbcon, in Blackbaud’s sole discretion, without refund.

 

Reporting Unacceptable Behavior
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being treated poorly, or have additional concerns, please contact any member of the bbcon team. Team members can be found at the information desks.

We expect all participants to follow this Code of Conduct at all bbcon venues, any external venue affiliated with bbcon, and all related social events. The policy may be revised at any time by Blackbaud without notice. In the event of an emergency, please contact local authorities immediately.
