Code of Conduct

We want Samvera Community to be a fun, informative, engaging event for all our partners and participants. We've got a few strategies to help make this happen:

1. 1. We encourage everyone to apply the Samvera community principles of openness, inquiry, and respect in their interactions at the event.

   2. We have officially adopted an Anti-Harassment Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to community helpers .
