Code of Conduct

The USETDA strives to support an open exchange of ideas within a safe and respectful environment. We value your attendance at USETDA conferences, meetings, and events, and are dedicated to providing a positive event experience for all participants. We want all USETDA events to be welcoming, supportive, and comfortable for all participants.

Participation in discussions and activities should be respectful at all times. All are expected to exercise tolerance of the perspectives and opinions of all present and use discretion with photographs, recordings, and sharing.

We do not tolerate harassment in any form. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, USETDA may take any action it deems appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event. Event organizers will assist participants in contacting building/venue security or local law enforcement, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. If you are being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an event organizer immediately.

Anti-discrimination policy: The USETDA is an equal opportunity organization. The USETDA does not permit, support, or practice discrimination based on age, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, size, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background. We expect the same code of conduct applies to our members while engaging in community activities.
