Coworking Event Code of Conduct
All attendees and sponsors are expected to follow the following code of conduct. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for everybody.
Purpose
Coworking Spain Conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion or lack thereof. We do not tolerate harassment of our participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any professional event venue, including talks. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the organisers.
Anti-harassment
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
- Verbal comments that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion
- Sexual images in public spaces
- Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
- Harassing photography or recording
- Sustained disruption of talks or other events
- Inappropriate physical contact
- Invasion of personal space
- Unwelcome sexual attention
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
Enforcement
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, event organisers retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the event.
Event organisers may take action to address anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting the event or making the environment hostile for any participants. We expect participants to follow these rules at the event venue. We think people should follow these rules outside event activities too!

Photo Policy
In case of any doubt, please ask before taking photographs of attendees, speakers or staff.
Inclusive language
In our commitment to a harassment-free and inclusive environment we strongly believe it’s important to pay attention to harmful language patterns.
Ableism
Words like “crazy”, “dumb”, “insane” or “lame” are examples of ableist language, devaluating people who have physical or mental disabilities. Its appearance often stems not from any intentional desire to offend, but from our innate sense of what it means to be normal. These words can be avoided by using more fitting, clearer descriptions of what we want to communicate.
Sexism
Using gendered terms like “dude” or “guys” to address a mixed-gendered group of people contributes to furthering exclusion of underrepresented individuals. We strongly advise avoiding gendered pronouns as well as gendered terms.
