All participants are expected to behave respectfully and professionally.
Harassment, intimidation, discrimination or behaviour that causes

This Code of Conduct applies to everyone participating in

BSides Kristiansand exists to learn, share knowledge, collaborate
and build connections within the security community. We welcome
participation regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age,
sexual orientation, religion, disability, socioeconomic background
or level of experience.
Be courteous, respectful and professional. Respect personal
boundaries and the boundaries of others. Consent matters,
and a clear “no” must always be respected.
Harassment, discrimination, intimidation, threats, stalking,
unwanted physical contact or advances, offensive or discriminatory
imagery, sustained disruption of talks or activities, and behaviour
that creates an unsafe or hostile environment will not be tolerated.
Alcohol must be consumed responsibly and in accordance with
Norwegian law. Illicit drug use and supplying alcohol to
underage individuals are prohibited. Intoxication does not
excuse inappropriate behaviour.
Respect the privacy and preferences of other participants.
