CODE OF ETHICAL CONDUCT:
Clarion Events, Inc. (“Clarion”) prides itself on providing an
inclusive and supportive environment where all people are treated with
dignity, decency, and respect. Clarion expects all parties associated
with its events to behave appropriately throughout the year and requires
that all individuals associated with its events act in a considerate,
respectful, and collaborative manner. Demeaning, discriminatory, or
harassing behavior and speech are not permitted. While involved with
Clarion or Clarion Gift & Souvenir Portfolio, we ask that you use best efforts to be
mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants, and to
alert event venue security or Clarion Gift & Souvenir Portfolio staff if you notice a
dangerous or harassing situation or someone in distress. Additionally,
you may also reach out to [email protected] year-round with any
questions or comments.
UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT:
All who participate in any Clarion event deserve respectful
treatment, regardless of the capacity in which they are attending or
participating. Unacceptable behaviors include, but are not limited to,
the following: intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory,
derogatory, or demeaning conduct by any attendee, speaker, partner,
exhibitor, or volunteer of the event or related event activities.
Clarion prohibits any and all offensive verbal comments related to
gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, national origin, gender
identity, or disability; use of nudity and/or sexual images in public
spaces (including presentation slides); deliberate intimidation,
stalking or unwelcome following; harassing photography or recording;
sustained disruption of talks or other events; unwelcome physical
contact or attention. Attendees often combine professional activities
with social interaction, and while Clarion Gift & Souvenir Portfolio encourages such
networking and strengthening of connections between participants,
Clarion Gift & Souvenir Portfolio reserves the right to remove anyone who appears
inebriated and who engages in conduct that interferes with the ability
of other attendees and/or exhibitors to participate in and enjoy the
event, and anyone whose social attentions become unwelcome toward a
staff member, attendee, exhibitor, or any other person associated with
the event. Event participants are not permitted to bring firearms to the
event.
CONSEQUENCES OF UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR:
Unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated at the events whether
by attendees, media, speakers, volunteers, organizers, venue staff,
sponsors, exhibitors, or anyone else even remotely related to the event.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply
immediately. Clarion Gift & Souvenir Portfolio, at its discretion, may remove and bar
those who violate this Code from continued attendance or participation
in some or all of the events in its sole and absolute discretion,
without refund of any fees paid, and may bar violators of this Code from
attendance or participation of any future Clarion events in its sole
and absolute discretion. This code provides general guidelines and
cannot cover every possible type of unacceptable behavior. Clarion Gift & Souvenir Portfolio reserves the right to apply corrective action to instances other
than the specific examples noted.
This Code of Conduct may be modified at any time and for any reason.
