Diversity and Inclusion Best Practices for Conference Organizers

This document presents a list of recommended best practices to improve the diversity and inclusion of the conference setting for all minority groups (race, gender, etc.).

Harassment

These practices are designed to prevent and reduce harassment at conferences.

H1. Have a clear harassment policy that is easy to find (e.g., printed on the proceedings, linked on the front page website). It must be clear and easy to find.

H2. The harassment policy should clearly define harassment.

H3. The harassment policy should have a clear set of step that can easily be triggered by any attendee if they experience harassment.

H4. Every volunteer participant (e.g., PC chairs, members, panelist, speakers) has been vetted by the governing body (e.g., the ACM incidents database, the USENIX chair).

Representation

These practices are designed to increase representation and visibility of minority groups at conferences.

R1. Ensure there is at least one minority member of every part of the organizing committees and any visible speakers (e.g., panels, etc.).
