Cogsci had one for the first time this year http://www.cognitivesciencesociety.org/conference/cogsci-2018/code-of-conduct/ … And CUNY Sentence Processing had one starting in 2017 https://cuny2017.mit.edu/code-conduct (nb I was on the org committee and helped write the latter, largely based on this: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy_resources …)

And a general rant/reminder that the printed statement is just (one) public face of the CoC, the planning in advance for how you'll handle common situations, verbal announcements vital too (my 2 cents: have as senior a person as you can muster up read it out loud at the start!)

Also an important point, which comes up so often and which PyConUK also get right is diversity and accessibility: https://2018.pyconuk.org/diversity-inclusion-accessibility/ …

This type of inclusivity is so important (breastfeeding, children welcome, resources for deaf scientists, etc.), and I believe still much ignored / underestimated.

And some conferences also show inclusivity to gender minorities, with eg pronoun stickers.https://twitter.com/engageclimate/status/1026231751742554114?s=21 …

I’m glad Olivia thinks so highly of PyCon UK
But we’re very much building on the work of others! AlterConf, DjangoCon, Write The Docs, to name but a few.
I’m hoping to write a blog post about this soon.1 reply 1 retweet 4 likes -

I do think very highly of you and the trans inclusivity was amazing (back in 2016 and I am sure still) and please do indeed link me/us to your blog post on this!

Alex Chan @alexwlchanI wrote a list of my ideas for running inclusive conferences and events. Support for disabilities, parents, trans people, venue layout tips – the lot. Dig in: https://alexwlchan.net/2018/08/inclusive-conferences/ … This is heavily influenced by my experience at places like@AlterConf and@PyConUK.Show this thread1 reply 4 retweets 7 likes
