Google is dedicated to providing a harassment-free and inclusive event experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or other protected category. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Google takes policy violations seriously and will respond appropriately.
All participants of Google events must abide by the following policy:
Be excellent to each other.
Treat everyone with respect. Participate while acknowledging that everyone deserves to be here — and that each of us has the right to enjoy our experience without fear of harassment, discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or through microaggressions. Jokes should not demean others. Consider what you say and how it would feel if it were said to or about you.
Speak up if you see or hear something.
Harassment is not tolerated, and you are encouraged to politely speak up when you or others are disrespected. The person making you uncomfortable may not realize what they are doing, so politely bringing it to their attention is encouraged.
Practice saying 'Yes, and' to each other.
This is a theater improv technique used to build on each other's ideas. We all benefit when we create together.
We have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for harassment of any kind.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Our zero tolerance policy means that we will investigate and review every report of violation of our Event Community Guidelines and Anti-Harassment Policy and respond appropriately. We empower and encourage you to report any behavior that makes you or others feel uncomfortable by finding a Google staff member wearing an event STAFF t-shirt or SPEAKER badge.
Any person behaving in a disorderly manner, engaging in harassing or inappropriate behavior, or otherwise failing to comply with this policy may be removed from any Google-hosted event or denied admittance (including future Google events) at any time at Google's sole discretion. Individuals removed from an event for violating this policy will not be issued a refund.
