Code of Conduct

TL;DR

Retro Data is a space for everyone to learn, share, and contribute. Whether you’re speaking or attending, we expect you to be part of a community that values respect, curiosity, and collaboration. Be kind, be open, and help make this a great experience for all. If you experience or witness any behaviour that does not align with these values, please contact us at [email protected].

• Be mindful: Respect the time, space, and contributions of others.
• Be professional: Whether you’re presenting or attending, maintain a tone that reflects the collaborative spirit of the conference.

Unacceptable behaviour

We do not tolerate:
