Event Etiquette

The Academy of Marketing aims to provide a safe, welcoming and professional conference experience for all participants.

Delegates are asked to respect the fact that many submissions are work-in-progress. Material presented at AM Events should therefore be treated as personal communication and is to be shared only with the express consent of the author(s). Sessions will not be recorded without the consent of participants, and the taking of photographs, screenshots, videos, and/or downloading or saving any material is strictly prohibited. When talking about the event on social media, we request that delegates do not share images of slides or posters.

Please switch digital devices to silent mode.

Please be on time and do not arrive/leave during a presentation. If you must leave one track session to move to another, this should only be done at a changeover in presenter.

Event Code of Conduct

All delegates are respectfully requested to behave in a professional manner. All communications should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds.

The Academy will not tolerate harassment of delegates in any form. Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and recording of an individual without consent. It also includes offensive or belittling comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity or religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices.

Any conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event, without a refund, at the discretion of the organisers. Anyone who feels they have been discriminated against, harassed, threatened, intimidated, has observed or witnessed violations of this code, or has other concerns is encouraged to immediately report these instances to a member of the Conference Organising Committee. The Conference Organising Committee and Academy Executive Committee are committed to addressing and resolving the matter to the best of their abilities. Notifying the Conference Organising Committee / Academy does not constitute or replace a notification to appropriate legal authorities.
