As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, or religion. This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participant behavior, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior. We invite all sponsors, volunteers, speakers, attendees, media, exhibitors, and other participants to help us realize a safe and positive experience for everyone. All determinations of appropriate or inappropriate behavior are at Raftur Games' sole discretion, and the decisions of Raftur Games representatives will be final.
