NCTE reserves the right to take action against any participant in the Convention whose conduct is inconsistent with these policies. Action may include dismissal from the Convention and/or termination of NCTE membership.
MUTUAL RESPECT & ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
NCTE is committed to producing events where everyone may learn, network, and socialize in an environment of mutual respect. Therefore, some behaviors are prohibited, including harassment related to gender, gender identity and/or expression, sexual orientation, disability, race, age, religion, political affiliation, or beliefs; intimidation, stalking, or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained or repeated disruption of talks or events; inappropriate contact or unwelcome sexual attention; or any other conduct that NCTE leadership finds to be unreasonably hostile, offensive, or humiliating. Participants are expected to observe this policy at all times in regard to the Convention. Contact eventcommunications@ncte.org if you believe this policy has been violated. All reports will be directed to NCTE leadership immediately.
DEMONSTRATIONS POLICY
Demonstrations and protests will be conducted in a peaceful and organized manner, will be within the policies of the venue, and will be compliant with federal, state, and local laws. Such activities are strictly forbidden in exhibition space, and protesters will not be permitted to block the entrance to traffic flow within the exhibit area. NCTE retains the right to permit protests to occur in predetermined areas and to terminate any protests that occur on its property or property NCTE is renting, leasing, or otherwise using for a specific time to host an event. Attendees who do not uphold these standards may jeopardize their membership and/or event participation.
Individuals and groups interested in demonstrating/protesting should contact our Convention Operations Team, at eventcommunications@ncte.org to register their plans and obtain further details.
