+## Code of Conduct
+
+>TL;DR don't be a jerk
+
+### The Quick Version
+
+Jsoc is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the current and all future events without a refund at the discretion of the jsoc organizers.
+
+### The Less Quick Version
+
+Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
+
+Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
+
+Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
+
+If a participant engages in harassing behavior, jsoc organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
+
+If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an organizer immediately.
+
+Organizers will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.
+
+We expect participants to follow these rules at events, workshops, jsoc-related social events.
