Peak InfoSec (“Peak InfoSec” or the “Company”) is committed to ensuring a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment at our events.

Everyone involved in Peak Infosec’s events, including without limitation all exhibitors, sponsors, attendees, speakers, staff, etc., are expected to treat others with respect and civility.

This Code of Conduct applies to all Institute-sponsored events, Peak InfoSec-affiliated events, and any related events or social gatherings (“Events”). This Code of Conduct applies to anyone involved in Events, including all Peak InfoSec employees and staff, sponsors, attendees, guests, speakers, volunteers, exhibiters, vendors, and venue staff. By registering for and/or attending an Event, you agree to comply with this Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct is subject to change without notice.

Complaints

Contact local law enforcement, Event officials, or emergency services officials immediately if you notice a dangerous situation, threats of violence, or if someone is in distress. To report Unacceptable Conduct at an Event, contact a Peak InfoSec staff member as soon as possible. All reports will be kept as confidential as possible.
