Listen generously, speak with care, and leave space for voices that are often overlooked.
Code of Conduct
A summit culture built for honest, respectful leadership work.
Gender-inclusive leadership requires serious conversation, lived experience, and professional care. AHLS expects every participant, speaker, sponsor, exhibitor, media representative, staff member, and volunteer to protect the quality of the room.
Conduct
The room needs enough safety for honest leadership work.
Because AHLS discusses power, gender, culture, leadership, care, and equity, the code of conduct protects dignity, privacy, consent, and good-faith participation.
Room cultureRespect is not decoration. It is the operating model.
Every participant helps protect the quality of the summit.
Harassment, intimidation, discriminatory remarks, threats, retaliation, or targeted disruption are not acceptable.
Respect privacy requests, recording guidance, photography boundaries, and confidential participant information.
Leaders, sponsors, media, and speakers are expected to model the gender-inclusive practice the summit exists to advance.
Expected conduct
Participants agree to follow facilitator guidance, engage in good faith, respect lived experience, and use summit spaces for professional learning, relationship-building, and practical leadership development.
