We want your Button experience to be amazing. To keep things safe, inclusive, and fun, here are our expectations for all attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff.
We take this policy seriously, and we want you to know that if anything ever happens, we’ve got your back.
Button is produced by Brain Traffic. You can call us at any time at 612-331-6600, or email info@braintraffic.com.
Everyone: All conference staff, volunteers, speakers, attendees, sponsors, and vendors are protected by and expected to follow this policy.
We consider harassment to be unacceptable behavior toward others, including:
We will not tolerate harassment of or by Button participants in any conference virtual platforms and Button-related online social events. People asked to stop any of these or other harassing behaviors are expected to stop immediately. No excuses.
Talk to a conference volunteer or staff person right away. If you're attending Button in person, you’ll usually be able to find someone in the conference office or at the registration desk to request a private conversation with Tenessa or Sean (our full-time conference staff members). If you’re attending Button virtually, the fastest way to contact us is on Slack by DMing @TeamButton. You can also contact hello@buttonconf.com if you prefer not to report the incident in person.
If you feel an immediate danger to your personal safety, we also encourage you to contact local law enforcement as needed.
We’ll work with both parties in good faith to ensure that harassment stops immediately, and we’ll do whatever we can to be sure you feel safe for the duration of the conference.
Here are some of the actions the Button staff may deem appropriate:
If the situation isn’t resolved at the time, or if you need to follow up about anything at all, please call the Brain Traffic office at 612-331-6600. (Please note that this number is only staffed during regular business hours and is not ideal for emergencies.)
