Reporting (in person)

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or uncomfortable, please report it as soon as possible to Leishman Associates staff at the registration desk located on the Mezzanine level. Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of the conference for all. You may make a report either personally or anonymously. We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe.
