Code of Conduct

All attendees, speakers, sponsors, partners, suppliers and volunteers at our events are required to agree with the following Code of Conduct. Touch.ge team will enforce this code throughout all the events, programs and activities planned and organised under the touch.ge brand. We expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Any content that may somehow recall sexual images or examples of harassment aimed to explain the speakers talk or presentation, but that is not aimed for real harassme nt of any attendee, listener or reader of the online broadcast of the Tech Touch, may be allowed on the Summit under the strict and thorough control of the organizing team.

Participants that are asked by the organisers to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes or otherwise create a sexualised environment. Using sexually underlined content or marketing tools by the exhibitors will not be allowed under any circumstances.

If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the touch.ge events with no refund.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of Touch staff immediately. You can report any situations of the kind to our team email address: info@touch.ge

Touch events staff will be happy to help participants to feel safe for the duration of the touch.ge activities. We value your attendance.

We care about the health and safety of all our participants, therefore we organise the main program of the events online and remotely. Only if the local authorities allow us to gather over 10 people together can we organise offline networking events but for small groups of up to 50 people at one place, which will be well-ventilated and disinfected and follow all the rules and restrictions of the local authorities. The attendees that will be violating the announced safety restrictions will be asked to leave the event without any refund.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all the Touch-related social events.
