Overview
Google is dedicated to providing a respectful, inclusive and harassment-free event experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, color, ethnicity, nationality, national origin, race, age, religion, or other protected category.
All participants of Google programs and events, both in person and online/virtual, are expected to treat other participants with respect. Participants should acknowledge that everyone in attendance deserves to be there — and everyone has the right to enjoy the experience without fear of harassment, discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or via micro-aggressions.
Google does not tolerate inappropriate behavior or harassment of any kind, including but not limited to:
- Stalking/following
- Intimidation
- Harassing photography or recording
- Disruption of talks or other events
- Offensive verbal language
- Sexual imagery or language
- Inappropriate physical contact
- Unwelcome sexual or physical attention
- Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Disregard for the rules and requests set forth by the venue and staff
Google takes violations of our Code of Conduct seriously and will respond appropriately. We empower and encourage participants to report any behavior that makes them or others feel uncomfortable by finding a Google event staff member, Google security, or emailing your Google program team.
Participants asked to stop any inappropriate or harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Google reserves the right to refuse admittance to, or remove any person from, any Google program or event at any time, in its sole discretion, for failure to comply with this Code of Conduct. Google will not be liable for any costs incurred as a result of a participant’s removal from a program or event. Please note that, while we take all reported concerns seriously, we will use our discretion in determining when and how to respond to reported incidents, and may decline to take any further action and/or may direct the participant to other resources for resolution.
This policy applies to participants in any Google programs and events, whether they take place on or off Google property. It applies to participants throughout the duration of their participation in the program or event, including dinners, social activities, and hallway conversations.
