Open Conference Expectations

For conferences, it's extremely important that attendees get top-quality content from industry experts. As a highly compelling format of educating others based on experience and research, conferences stand to be one the best sources of refined knowledge available. Still, it's important for a successful event to have a few guidelines to ensure quality content from the best and most appropriate speakers. Below is a set of guidelines for conference organizers that ensure quality content for attendees and the community.

What We, As Speakers, Expect from Conferences

1. Conversations: For organizers to create an event and environment that brings likeminded people together to talk about shared interests and generate excitement around their ideas.

2. Inclusion & Safety: Conferences will ensure that both speakers and attendees are made to feel safe and included at all times, and that no individual or group should feel threatened, uncomfortable, or ostracized at any time.
