Hallway Track

Small groups. Impromptu conversations. Interesting people.

A free, ad-hoc series of gatherings, held just after an interesting discussion.

Not too big that you don’t get a chance to talk.

Not too small that there’s dead air.

About an hour of your time, held on Zoom.

Code of Conduct

To establish and maintain an inclusive environment we ask attendees to agree to the following code of conduct.

  • Have respect for all fellow participants. We should all create a harassment-free event for everyone regardless of gender, age, sexual identity, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion or belief. Harassment will not be tolerated in any form.

  • Expect people to prefer different ways of communicating on a video conference, such as turning off their video or using chat instead of speaking.

  • Help create a safe and welcoming environment. We can do this by being open to diverse points of view, by inviting other people to join and by keeping things people share confidential if they specify it.

  • Do not assume everyone has the same context. Encourage questions.

  • Listen to others, and ensure that all activities are respectful, participatory, and productive.

  • Consider your environment and minimise loud noises. Have empathy for others in different situations who may not be able to control their environment. Please mute your microphone when entering a session unless you want to contribute.

  • Provide constructive, helpful feedback rather than criticising.

  • Stay on topic as we only have a limited amount of time. If a conversation goes off topic we may ask you to hold off on the conversation until a more suitable time.

  • Be present – please try to make the most of the event. Engage as much as you feel comfortable. We want everyone to learn from others and meet people working on similar challenges. If you’re unable to attend, please cancel as soon as possible so others can attend.

  • Be considerate of what you share on social media.

We reserve the right to ask anyone in violation of these policies to not participate in further activities.

We will reinforce this code throughout events. If you have any concerns, contact us immediately. Contact us:
