The Yahoo Event Code of Conduct outlines our expectations for participating in our meetups and events. It specifies the process for addressing potential misconduct. We seek to be open, inviting, authentic, and professional. We invite participants to be the same. But we also know that misconduct happens. So we try to be upfront about how to make this work. We’re open to hearing what you think about this and how we can make our communities even better too.
