Code of Conduct

LEVANTE Hackathon 2026 aims to foster a learning experience centered around community, consideration, and respect. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Participants violating this code of conduct may be expelled from the event at the discretion of the event organizers.

Expectations

It is our expectation that event participants will not engage in harassment of any kind, including:

• Offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion.
• Sexual images in event spaces
• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
• Harassing photography or recording.
• Sustained disruption of talks or other events.
• Inappropriate physical contact or unwelcome sexual attention
• Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. All organizers and speakers are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. We expect participants to follow these expectations at all event venues, including online spaces as well as in-person hubs and hub-related social activities.

Consequences

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from the event, and/or not being allowed to participate in future events.

If you experience or witness any violations…

People who speak up make the event a better place for everyone. If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible. You can make a report by contacting an event organizer, through our contact form (option to remain anonymous), or by emailing levantehackathon@gmail.com.
