The European Skeptics Congress reserves the right to refuse or rescind admission to any person whose presence represents a real or perceived threat to the smooth running of the event or the security and comfort of others.

Anti-social behaviour can be referred to designated members of staff who will deal with the issue in confidence. Such behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in ejection from the venue without refund.

There are dedicated telephone numbers for attendees to call and report incidents during the event which will be printed in the Event Guide. Any report will be taken seriously and investigated and may result in individuals being removed from the event and/or refused admission to future events.

We recognise the position of influence or authority held by event organisers, guest speakers, ECSO board members,and other attendees of recognised influence, and how such positions can be misused, intentionally or unintentionally. As guidance, we recommend that organisers, speakers, and attendees with recognised influence should avoid:

1. 1. accidentally or on purpose being alone with an attendee except in public spaces; and
2. 2. the pursuit of romantic or sexual interaction with an attendee at the conference

For the purposes of this Code of Conduct, ‘attendee of recognised influence’ means any attendee with a recognised following, including fans, listeners, patrons, subscribers, or similar.
