Code of conduct.

Code Remix is a working conference. People come to argue about migration strategy, show code that didn’t work, and ask the question they couldn’t ask at the office. That only happens in a room where everyone is treated decently. This is what that means in practice, and what to do when it doesn’t happen.

What we expect

Be straight with people and assume they’re acting in good faith. Disagree with the argument, not the person making it. Everyone here knows something you don’t.

• Give people room to speak, especially in the Hack Track and other open sessions where the loudest voice can crowd out the most useful one.
• Take a no gracefully — about a conversation, a photo, a follow-up, or an invitation.
• Respect the room. Recording a session, a whiteboard, or a screen means asking the people in it first.
• If someone tells you something you said landed badly, listen to that rather than litigating it.

What we won’t accept

Any of the following is grounds for being removed from the event without a refund:

• Harassment or demeaning comments related to gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, or technical choices.
• Sexual language or imagery in talks, slides, demos, booths, or swag, and unwelcome sexual attention of any kind.
• Intimidation, stalking, or following someone — in the venue, at evening events, or online.
• Photographing or recording someone who has asked you not to.
• Sustained disruption of a session, a workshop, or another attendee’s conversation.
• Unwelcome physical contact, and advocating for or encouraging any of the above.

Sponsors and exhibitors are held to the same standard. Booth staff shouldn’t use sexualized imagery, clothing, or activity, and the rules on harassment apply on the expo floor exactly as they do in a session room.

Where this applies

Everywhere the summit happens: session rooms, the Hack Track, hallways and common areas at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, the opening night reception, the VIP reception, sponsor booths and events, and any official online space — chat, forums, or social channels tied to the event.

Reporting a problem

If something happens to you, or you see it happen to someone else, tell us. You don’t need to be sure it “counts” and you don’t need to have it fully worked out. Raising it early is better than sitting with it.

Reports go to the summit organizers. We’ll treat what you tell us as confidential, and we won’t share your name with the person you’re reporting or publish details without your agreement. If you’d rather someone else raise it on your behalf, that’s fine too.

What happens next

An organizer will talk with you, take down what happened, and tell you what we intend to do. What that looks like depends on the situation — it can be a private word with the person involved, a warning, removing them from a session or the expo floor, revoking their badge without a refund, or involving venue security or law enforcement where that’s warranted.

We’ll also help with the practical side if you want it: walking you to where you need to be, contacting venue security or local law enforcement, or simply making sure you’re not on your own for the rest of the day.

Retaliating against someone for making a report in good faith is itself a violation of this code.
