By participating, you agree to uphold the standards outlined in this document.

Reporting an incident
If you experience or witness a Code of Conduct violation during an event, please report it as soon as possible. All reports are taken seriously and handled confidentially.
| Situation | How to report |
|---|---|
| During an in-person event | Speak directly with any SailPoint staff member or event organizer |
| During a virtual event | Message a moderator directly in the event platform, or submit an incident report |
| After an event | Submit an incident report with details of the incident |
Reporters will not face retaliation. Anonymous reports are accepted.
Enforcement
We believe in education first, but repeat incidents will result in escalating consequences. SailPoint reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove any participant from an event or restrict eligibility for future events for any reason.
1st incident — Warning
- Private warning from event staff
- You'll be asked to adjust your behavior to continue participating
2nd incident — Session removal
- Removal from the session or activity
- Participation in the remainder of the event may continue with conditions
3rd incident — Event removal
- Removal from the event
- May affect eligibility for future SailPoint events
- Possible community ban
- Removal from the Ambassador Program if applicable
Some behaviors result in immediate removal from the event and may result in a community ban, regardless of prior history:
- Harassment, unwanted physical contact, or threats of any kind
- Hate speech or discriminatory behavior
- Sharing or distributing content that violates these standards
- Illegal activity
Appeals
Any enforcement action of the 3rd incident may be appealed within 14 days. Email developer-relations@sailpoint.com with your perspective and any relevant context. Developer Relations leadership will review within 14 days, and all decisions are made in SailPoint's sole discretion. One appeal per incident, and the decision is final.
Speakers and sponsors
Speakers and sponsors are also subject to this Code of Conduct. Presentations, demos, and sponsored content should not contain material that violates these standards. SailPoint reserves the right to ask speakers or sponsors to modify content that is offensive, exclusionary, or otherwise inappropriate.
