Code of conduct

These rules apply to everyone at BLOOM, including students, teachers, speakers, volunteers and organizers.

BLOOM 2027 is a harassment-free conference for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

Expected behavior

Treat everyone with respect.
Use welcoming and inclusive language.
Be open to viewpoints and experiences that differ from yours.
Give constructive feedback and accept it gracefully.
Focus on what is best for the group.

Unacceptable behavior

Harassment, intimidation or discrimination in any form.
Sexualized language or imagery.
Personal attacks, insults or trolling.
Publishing someone’s private information without their explicit permission.
Disrupting workshops or other sessions.

Reporting

If you experience or see unacceptable behavior, tell a BLOOM organizer right away or email hello.bloomforum@gmail.com. All reports are handled confidentially.

Consequences

The organizing committee may warn anyone who breaks this code, ask them to leave the conference or, in serious cases, bar them from future BLOOM events.
