1\. Keep in mind that all conference staff will be wearing a conference t-shirt/button with the word “STAFF” on it (or otherwise clearly marked as staff). The staff will also be prepared to handle the incident. All of our staff are informed of the [code of conduct policy](/code-of-conduct) and guide for handling harassment at the conference. *There will be a mandatory staff meeting onsite at the conference when this will be reiterated.*

2\. Report the harassment incident (preferably in writing) to a conference staff member. All reports are confidential. Please do not disclose public information about the incident until the staff have had sufficient time in which to address the situation. This is as much for your safety and protection as it is the other attendees.

Be sure to have a good understanding of our Code of Conduct policy, which can be found here: [https://northbaypython.org/code-of-conduct](/code-of-conduct)

Also have a good understanding of what is expected from an attendee that wants to report a harassment incident. These guidelines can be found here: [https://northbaypython.org/code-of-conduct/harassment-incidents](/code-of-conduct/harassment-incidents)
