It is the policy of the ICIS'23 organizers that all participants, including attendees, vendors, staff, volunteers, and all other stakeholders at the ICIS'23 conference will conduct themselves in a professional manner that is welcoming to all participants and free from any form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Participants will treat each other with respect and consideration to create a collegial, inclusive, and professional environment at the ICIS'23 conference. Creating a supportive environment to enable scientific discourse at the ICIS'23 conference is the responsibility of all participants.

Participants will avoid any inappropriate actions or statements based on individual characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, nationality, political affiliation, ability status, educational background, or any other characteristic protected by law. Disruptive or harassing behaviour of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment includes but is not limited to inappropriate or intimidating behaviour and language, unwelcome jokes or comments, unwanted touching or attention, offensive images, photography without permission, and stalking.

Violations of this code of conduct policy should be reported to the conference organizers. Sanctions may range from verbal warning, to ejection from the conference without refund, to notifying appropriate authorities. Retaliation for complaints of inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated. If a participant observes inappropriate comments or actions and personal intervention seems appropriate and safe, they should be considerate of all parties before intervening.

If you have any concerns, have experienced or observed any behaviour that violates this code of conduct, please feel encouraged to contact the conference Ombudsperson/Conference Chair via email or direct message.
