Events Terms & Conditions??

  • 1.  Events Terms & Conditions??

    Posted 11-11-2019 19:23
    I noticed at the Acumatica 2019 R2 event, they included a Code of Conduct Policy that you were required to agree to before the final registration for the event. 

    What are the board's thoughts on including a Code of Conduct (or choose a title) for the Registration for MOTM - it would cover everyone including those attendees from a member firm, that aren't login in members of Higher Logic and haven't previously agreed to our standard T&C?

    I think that it's an excellent idea. It covers the organization to some degree in case there is a problem that necessitates a behavior correction. Other professional nonprofits that I've been involved with have had such a thing for their events.

    Thanks @Karen O'Lane - I went looking for Acumatica's recent Event T&C, still searching for it.  Do you have any examples from the other non-profits that you could share?  Would you be available to help work with me to pull one together for us?

    Seems like a reasonable CYA thing to do. It should be as minimal as possible.

    This would also continue our subthread of encouraging behavior appropriate for enhancing engagement and collaboration.

    Moira, yes, I can do that. I'm attaching Acumatica's, which I captured because I thought it was good for reference. I will post others once I find them. Then we can discuss what works best for us.

    Thank you @Karen O'Lane, that's the one I was looking for and the one that started the idea for our own Code of Conduct (CofC) for MOTM.  It's important that all the board members weigh-in on this topic, as some may feel strongly about a particular language exclusion or inclusion.   ​The Acumatica CofC is strongly worded and broad, but perhaps a CofC requires strong, broad statements to be effective.  It is possible this is Acumatica's response to a prior incident(s) at another event  or empowers those in charge to directly deal with participants that may get out of hand.  Hard to know, and they likely wouldn't talk about it anyway. 

    I'd like to see any examples of CofC that the board may know of or find.  Thank you in advance. 

    We can email the CofC to registrants of MOTM after we start ticket sales, but timely attention to the CofC by the board is appreciated.

    What is the definition of "offensive behavior or language"?

    That's a loaded question and that's why there is a board of directors to guide us.  :)

    I've reviewed several website's code of conduct statements and I see that many follow the same format. That being said, PMI does a nice job of zeroing in on definitions in their code of ethics. We're looking for something as it pertains to an event, but the guidelines for being a member of an organization and/or serving as a volunteer are roughly the same. I've attached a few examples. I think that we can glean something simple from various of these documents. I'll give it further thought and take a first pass at creating our code.

    Thank you for the exmaples and time it takes to gather all the info.  The NPR didn't look like it fit our needs, but their may be some ideas from it.  The PMI was more like our T&Cs (you can access it from Higher Logic by your profile pic). Ireally liked the MRC. MRC Rule # 7 is very specfic, @Robert Wood I recommend you be a reviewer on that one, it seems pretty clear you can 'say' it but don't print it.  Also, rule #6, is a good add to any CofC we have.  Thanks, @Karen O'Lane.

    I also like much of the MRC document. I found a few other "conference/event" code of conduct examples, attached for your reference. I combined and removed various portions and came up with the attached; "90Minds Meeting of the Minds 2020 Code of Conduct". It's a little long. We may be able to cut out some of it, but I'm not sure.

    The 90 Minds Meeting of The Minds Code of Conduct - wonderful work @Karen O'Lane!  Two things in my review:

    1. 90 Minds has a space between the 90 and Minds.
    2.  To keep it generic, I'd drop the MOTM reference in the last paragraph and leave it simply as 'event'

    Thank you, Karen, I really appreciate the efforts on this document!

    FYI - this is a linked document on the main page of our Whova app.  The Whova app will be 'published' later this week.  I'll also be posting it in the Events Page for each listing of MOTM and preconferences.
