Reporting

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it to a member of the Conference staff as soon as possible. Conference staff is always available at the registration desk at the entrance to Webflow Conf, and at the information desk located on the patio. If you experience or witness a life-threatening emergency, please contact local authorities by dialing 911 immediately. 

Harassment and other Code of Conduct violations reduce the value and safety of our event for everyone. We want you to be comfortable at our event. You can make a report either personally or anonymously.

If you see a Code of Conduct violation and you’re comfortable doing so, let the person know that what they did is inappropriate and ask them to stop. That person should immediately stop the behavior and correct the issue. If the behavior continues, or if you’re uncomfortable speaking up:

• Contact Conference staff as soon as possible (anonymously, in person at the event, or via email at legalteam@webflow.com)
• A staff member will immediately address the issue and take further action

When taking a personal report, our staff will ensure you’re safe and can’t be overheard. Our staff may involve other event staff to ensure your report is managed properly. Once you’re safe, we’ll ask you to tell us what happened. We realize this can be upsetting, but we’ll handle it as respectfully as possible. If you would like, you can bring someone with you for support while you make the report. You won’t be asked to confront anyone and we won’t tell the offending individual (or anyone else) who you are.

Our team will be happy to help you: 

• Contact hotel or venue security, local law enforcement, or local support services
• Provide escorts, or otherwise assist you to feel safe for the duration of the event

We value you and appreciate your attendance.

Sponsor and Webflow Obligations

Sponsors are also subject to this Code of Conduct. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. 

Webflow event organizers should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

Enforcement

Anyone asked to stop any harassing behavior or violations of the Code of Conduct must do so immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, Conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender,  expelling the offender from the Conference without warning or refund, and engaging local law enforcement.
