Code of Conduct

The MAICON Code of Conduct

MAICON represents an unprecedented opportunity to explore the next frontier in digital marketing transformation. It is an environment intended for discussion, learning and problem-solving.

As such, we’ve designed MAICON to be a safe, positive space for attendees, speakers, sponsors, staff, volunteers and other guests.

We expect all conference participants to abide by this code of conduct during the conference and at all conference-related events. Together, we can create the ideal environment to discover the present and future potential of artificial intelligence.

MAICON does not tolerate harassment of any kind.

Harassment includes, but is not limited to, offensive remarks about an individual’s gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation or any legally protected characteristic; unwanted sexual advances; repeated sexual jokes, flirtations, advances or propositions; touching; obscene comments or gestures; intentional intimidation, threats or other types of abusive behavior (“bullying”).
