We value the participation of everyone at this event and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees and staff and agree to the code of conduct upon registration and attendance.

This meeting will be a harassment-free environment for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, nationality, religion. We do not tolerate harassment of attendees in any form.

• Lecturers give their time freely, many have travelled a considerable distance, some are very distinguished, some are early career scientists perhaps giving a lecture at this level for the first time, and all deserve a fair and encouraging hearing. Please try to be on time for the start of a session, or otherwise slip quietly into the lecture theatre, refrain from loud conversations outside the doors and switch off mobile phones, and if you must use a lap-top computer do so inconspicuously in one of the rear seats.

• Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

• All communication given by lecturers, organisers and attendees should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language, jokes and imagery is not appropriate for any event.

• Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees.

• Respect local staff.

• Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event, without a refund of any charge that may have been levied.

Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, respectful space for all.

Reporting

If you experience or witness breaches of the code of conduct, please contact any member of the ASB Committee or LOC (listed above). They can be recognised at the meeting through special nametags. 

Currently, there are no legal restrictions or university mandates on ASB9 participants regarding COVID-19 measures; any changes will be posted on this website.

Nevertheless, the conference organisers are well aware of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had, and continues to have, on our community. Although the LOC cannot and will not enforce mask wearing, we strongly encourage all attendees to take relevant precautions to keep themselves and others safe.
