Personal Health Accountability Commitment

By attending the CITE 2025 Annual Conference, you agree to abide by and engage in certain health-and-safety-beneficial conduct while attending the event. Failure to comply with safety guidelines may result in removal from the conference at the discretion of CITE personal.

Code of Conduct

CITE values the participation of all those present and is committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all attendees and CITE staff. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, CITE staff members, CITE Board Members, service providers, and all others are expected to abide by this Code of Conduct. This Policy applies to all CITE meeting-related events, including those sponsored by organizations other than CITE but held in conjunction with CITE events, on public or private platforms. 

CITE has zero-tolerance for any form of discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to sexual harassment by participants of our staff at our meetings. If you experience harassment or hear of any incidents of unacceptable behavior, please let a CITE staff member or Board member know.

Expected Behavior is:

  • Demonstrate respect and consideration for all people.
  • Listen well to others. Make room for a diversity of voices in group discussions, on panels, and the like. Facilitators may extend invitations, but should be careful not to exert pressure on those who have not expressed a willingness to participate.
  • Foster collaboration and be conscious of not asserting dominance over others. Take into account the impact of relationships, positions, experience, privilege, and other factors to prevent exerting dominance.
  • Show that you value different perspectives by focusing on critiquing ideas rather than individuals.
  • Show that you welcome a diverse range of individuals and their identities by ensuring that people from various backgrounds and roles are included on panels, leading sessions, being called on when they raise their hands, and having their points considered.
  • Report conduct concerns so that they can be addressed responsibly and timely.
  • Respect confidentiality of the identities of any individuals involved in a conduct concern, while it is being reviewed and addressed.
  • Answer questions about conduct concerns in a forthright and complete manner (e.g., when registering or during a review of concerns); and

  • Participants must promptly comply with any instructions from a leader, facilitator, venue official, or Society official to cease a specific behavior or comment. Please adhere to any directions given to enforce this Policy or the venue's policies. After complying, participants may address any questions or concerns to a Meeting Official.

Unacceptable Behavior is defined as:

  • Harassment, intimidation, discrimination in any form.
  • Verbal abuse of any attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, CITE staff member, service provider, or other meeting guest.
  • Making generalizations or reinforcing stereotypes about people.
  • Personal attacks or offensive verbal comments.
  • Excessive intoxication that causes a disruption in event related activities or involving the local authorities including but not limited to police or EMT services.

In addition, participants are asked to adhere to the following rules:

  • The recording or transmissions of any education sessions, presentations, demos, videos, or content in any format is strictly prohibited.
  • Disruption of presentations during sessions, in the exhibit hall, or at other events organized by CITE throughout the meeting. All participants must comply with the instructions of the moderator and any CITE event staff.

Response to Unacceptable Behavior

CITE reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, including immediate removal from the meeting without warning or refund, in response to any incident or unacceptable behavior, and CITE reserves the right to prohibit attendance at current or any future meeting, virtually or in-person.
