PRINCIPLES
How about we do things differently
Equality
Everyone is welcome. All seats cost the same, except for the free seats we sponsor for those who can’t afford them. Wheelchair access, caregiver seats, front-row upgrades.
Safety
We don’t just publish a “code of conduct”. We enforce it.
All staff are trained on the code of conduct and our duty officer is empowered to kick anyone out, including the keynote speakers.
Trolls, disruptors, creeps and predators – stay home.
Or we will send you home.
Community
Reverse sponsorship: We sponsor the community
We work with Meetup groups in each location to build community and we often partner with local bookstores for on-site merchandise sales.
