code of conduct
Youth Innovation day, as part of the #BCTECHSummit provides a platform for engaging, thought-provoking conversations and discussions. No matter how intensely you may feel about a subject, this is not a place for conversations, discussions, and behaviour that are intentionally inappropriate, off-topic, disruptive, or abusive.
We define inappropriate behavior as any form of verbal or physical abuse, the use of derogatory or discriminatory language, gestures or actions, any form of harassment, racism, sexism, or any other targeted comments which are intended to cause personal offense to another Summit participant either in-person at the event or through social media channels, or which are in violation of any local laws.
At our discretion the organizers will initiate appropriate action against any individual(s) or group(s) it believes fail to meet the standards set forth in this Code of Conduct, including but not limited to revoking the violating parties' credentials without refund.
If you believe you've observed or experienced a violation of this Code of Conduct please advise us at info@bctechsummit.ca, and the organizers will work to assess the situation and to respond as soon as possible. Please remember that notifying the organizers does not constitute or replace a notification to local law enforcement.
All violations of the law should be reported to local law enforcement. For emergencies, immediately dial 9-1-1. For non-emergencies, the Vancouver Police Department is available at (604) 717-3321
The #BCTECHSummit is delivered by the Government of British Columbia and Innovate BC, a Crown Agency.
