Big Apple Scrum Day is dedicated to providing a harassment-free online conference experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, economic status, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any talks, presentations and other sort of activities . Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, without a refund (if applied) at the discretion of the conference organizers.
