Professional and respectful engagement

Participants are expected to act with professionalism, engage constructively, respect differing views, and follow venue and SAFET guidance.

Zero tolerance for harassment

Harassment, including offensive comments, intimidation, unwanted contact, or disruptive behaviour, is not permitted.

Conduct during sessions

Chatham House Rule

The following Chatham House Rule applies to roundtable and other similar sessions.

“When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed”
