Code of Conduct
PGConf.dev is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience
for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in
any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference
venue, including talks.
Conference participants violating this policy may be sanctioned or expelled
from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the Code Of
Conduct committee.
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual
orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, 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. Participants
asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Failure to comply will result in sanctions and/or ejection from the
conference without a refund.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers
will work with the Code Of Conduct Committee to decide what action to take,
including but not limited to: warning the offender, expulsion from the
conference with no refund, and/or referral to appropriate authorities. If
you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have
any other concerns, please contact a member of the conference staff,
including anyone on the conference committee, or the Code of Conduct
committee, immediately.
Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact venue security
or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those
experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We
value your attendance. Decisions regarding appropriate assistance will be at
the sole discretion of the conference committee.
All participants are expected to adhere to this policy at all conference
venues and conference-related social events.

By day, I'm the CFO and COO of PGX, Inc., a Postgres-only consultancy in San Francisco, California. I'm also the President of the U.S. PostgreSQL Association (PgUS), a nonprofit dedicated to the advancement of PostgreSQL through education and advocacy. I'm an organizer of the San Francisco Bay Area PostgreSQL Users Group. At conferences in the US and Europe, you'll often find me at the registration desk. I'm also the creator of the original PostgreSQL Community Code of Conduct, and was the first Chair of the Community CoC Committee for three years. By night, I sleep, since that's a lot to do every day!
