Smartsheet Event Code of Conduct

Updated June 4, 2024

Purpose

Smartsheet is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion and ensuring that the event series (both to the extent hosted in-person or virtually) is made reasonably available without issues. This Code of Conduct outlines our expectations for participant behavior, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior. We expect all conference event participants, whether in-person or virtual (including staff, sponsors, volunteers, speakers, attendees, and other guests) to abide by this Code of Conduct at all times while participating in conference-related activities and events. 

Expected Behavior 
  • Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative. 
  • Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. 
Unacceptable Behavior 
  • Discrimination or unfair treatment, including that based on gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, or religion. 
  • Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or harassment. 
  • Disruption of conference sessions or conference-related events. 
  • Any other illegal activity. 
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. 
Further, for the virtual event series (“Online Event”), you agree not to:
  • interfere or attempt to interfere in any manner with the functionality or proper working of the Online Event;
  • breach or otherwise bypass any security or authentication measures of the Online Event; 
  • transmit viruses, malware, any other malicious or destructive code, or other prohibited items, into the Products. Prohibited items include: any routine, device, or other undisclosed feature (e.g., so-called time bomb, virus, software lock, drop dead device, malicious logic, worm, Trojan horse, or trap, back door or software routine) that is either (1) designed to delete, disable, deactivate, interfere with, or otherwise harm any software, program, data, device, system, or service; or (2) intended to provide unauthorized access or produce unauthorized modifications;
  • distribute content that harms or interferes with the operation of any Smartsheet or third-party networks, servers, or other infrastructure; 
  • use any robot, spider, data scraping or extraction tool, or similar mechanism in the Online Event;
  • access or use portions of the Online Event that Smartsheet has not authorized you to access or use; 
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, attempt to gain unauthorized access to, or attempt to discover the underlying source code or structure of the Online Event or the technology and software used to provide it; or
  • access, use, or otherwise exploit the Online Event for purposes of you competing with or disparaging Smartsheet or its products, including by not limited to benchmarking, monitoring availability, performance, or functionality, or conducting competitive analysis.
Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior

Participants asked to stop any harassing or unacceptable behavior are expected to comply immediately. Smartsheet event representatives retain the right to take appropriate actions to keep the conference a welcoming environment for all participants. Actions may include a warning, expulsion from the conference (including without warning), and/ or engagement of law enforcement. 

In addition, if you have, or Smartsheet reasonably suspects based on documented evidence that you have violated any law or regulation, Smartsheet may report such violations to the appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties. Our reporting may include disclosing relevant personal information. We also may cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other third parties to help with the investigation and prosecution of illegal conduct by providing network and systems information related to alleged violations of this Code of Conduct.

COVID-19

Smartsheet is following guidelines put forth by state and local health authorities. Participants may be required to wear masks while attending or participating in the Event. Smartsheet reserves the right to impose such a policy in advance of or during the Event in its sole discretion. Such a decision shall be made in consideration of health and safety guidance and data from local authorities and internal Smartsheet policy. By attending the Event or any Event-related activities, participants agree to assume all risks and associated  liabilities related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree to any posted health-related instructions.
