The GraphQL Foundation and the Linux Foundation are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for participants at all of our events, whether they are held in person or virtually. GraphQLConf is a working conference intended for professional networking and collaboration within the open source community. It exists to encourage the open exchange of ideas and expression and requires an environment that recognizes the inherent worth of every person and group. While at GraphQLConf or related ancillary or social events, any participants, including members, speakers, attendees, volunteers, sponsors, exhibitors, booth staff and anyone else, should not engage in harassment in any form.
This Code of Conduct may be revised at any time by The GraphQL Foundation or The Linux Foundation and the terms are non-negotiable. Your registration for or attendance at GraphQL, whether in person or virtually, indicates your agreement to abide by this policy and its terms.
Please read the full Code of Conduct for the complete policy and terms.
Education and collaboration are vital to the future of the open source ecosystem, and it is imperative to us that everyone in the community that wants to participate feels welcome to do so regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, race, ethnicity, age, religion or economic status. Our code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our community, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior.
We offer diversity and have considered a broad range of both onsite resources and emergency resources as well as a health & safety policy.
If you have ideas on how we can create a more inclusive event, please do not hesitate to let us know. Contact Emily Ruf, Event Director, at eruf@linuxfoundation.org.

Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference.
If you are planning to attend and have concerns regarding another individual who may be present, please reach out to us pre-event. Precautions will be taken to ensure a victim’s comfort and safety, including, but not limited to providing an escort, prepping onsite event staff, keeping victim and harasser from attending the same talks/social events and providing onsite contact cell phone numbers for immediate contact.
