IPAC’23 / CONFERENCE GUIDE 15 Non-discrimination and anti-harassment policy IPAC’23 is committed to providing a conference experience where everyone is treated with respect, free from discrimination or harassment or bullying for any reason, for example: because of race, colour, gender, ethnicity, ancestry, national or cultural origin, religion, creed, sexual or affection orientation, gender identity and expression, pregnancy, age, disability or handicap, physical appearance, body size, genetic information, political affiliation, matriculation, veteran or military status, marital status, citizenship status or socio-economic status, or on any other legally prohibited basis. Discrimination or harassment includes: offensive verbal comments, sexual images visible 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. Exhibitors in the Industrial Exhibition are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors should not use sexual images, activities, or other material in their displays. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexual clothing, uniforms, costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment. Discrimination or harassment or bullying of conference participants will not be tolerated in any form. If a participant engages in discriminatory, harassing or bullying behaviour, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Participants are expected to follow these rules at all conference venues and conference- related social events. Disclaimer The organizers are not liable for damages and/or losses of any kind which may be incurred by the conference delegates or by any other individuals accompanying them, both during the official activities as well as going to/from the conference venue. Delegates are responsible for their own travel and belongings. Data Collection and reporting In order to track and understand the diversity of our community and to see if we are meeting our diversity goals, some optional data will be collected upon registration to the conference. Statistics on the achieved speaker diversity are now available: it has been ensured that the accelerator community is effectively represented in terms of its diversity and inclusion, there are contributions from 22 countries (including Ukraine), comprising 60 organisations, with 25% from female presenters. An event to discuss the diversity issues and networking will be held during the conference and open to all (see : https://www.ipac23.org/equal-opportunity-session ) Policies
