Anyscale events foster an international community of programmers and provide opportunities to discuss industry advances and form new collaborations.
Anyscale values your attendance and wants to make your experience productive and inspiring by fostering an open exchange of ideas in a professional setting. Our Code of Conduct was established to communicate a transparent set of standards and guidelines for acceptable behavior at Anyscale hosted events, and to provide a positive, safe, and welcoming environment for all participants.
All series participants (regardless of their role) are expected to follow the Code of Conduct while attending any portion of Anyscale events including but not limited to Keynote Presentations, Panels, Trainings, Bootcamps, Zoom chat, Q&A questions via Zoom, and any Ray Slack channel. Because of the hybrid nature of some of our events, our Code of Conduct extends to both in person conduct as well as communications related to the events and their attendees, presenters, and staff.Â
