GEEKEXPOAU has a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for harassment of any kind. If a person engages in harassing behaviour, GEEKEXPOAU Staff will take prompt action in any form they deem appropriate, including expulsion from GEEKEXPOAU with no refund.
Our policy applies to EVERYONE at the convention. Exhibitors, Fans (Attendees), Speakers, Guests, Professionals, Press, Staff, Volunteers and Security are all subject to our anti-harassment policy and will be held to the same standards and disciplinary action. Anyone can report harassment. If someone’s behaviour has made you uncomfortable, or if you witness the same happening to someone else, you should immediately contact GEEKEXPOAU Staff, Security Team or a Crew Member.
You may also come to GEEKEXPOAU’s Show Office or information booth. If necessary, we will contact local law enforcement, provide escort, offer a safe place or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to make sure they feel safe for the rest of GEEKEXPOAU.
Our mission is to create a fun, safe, welcoming, awesome event where Fans of all kinds can come together and celebrate. We want you to not only have the most amazing weekend ever, but to experience it in an environment where you are safe and accepted. As Fans ourselves, we understand the importance of creating a safe space for everyone who attends OCC.
GEEKEXPOAU strongly believes that all attendees, exhibitors and staff should be treated with dignity and respect.
GEEKEXPOAU’s Zero Tolerance Policy: Acts of violence or sexual harassment will not be tolerated. Any instances of violence or sexual harassment must be reported to the security office or security guard immediately. Show Management will promptly respond to any incident or suggestion of violence or sexual harassment. GEEKEXPOAU does not expect employees to become experts in psychology or to physically subdue a threatening individual.
Indeed, we specifically discourage attendees, exhibitors and staff from engaging in any physical confrontation with a violent or potentially violent individual. However, we do expect and encourage all attendees, exhibitors and staff to exercise reasonable judgment in identifying potentially dangerous situations. Threats, threatening language, or any other acts of aggressions, violence or sexual harassment made toward or by any attendee/exhibitor/staff will NOT be tolerated.
For purposes of this policy, a threat includes but is not limited to any verbal or physical harassment or abuse, attempts at intimidating or instilling fear in others, menacing gestures, flashing of weapons, stalking, or any other hostile, aggressive, injurious and /or destructive actions undertaken for the purpose of domination or intimidation.
GEEKEXPOAU expressly prohibits any acts or threats of violence or sexual harassment by any attendee, exhibitor or staff against another in or around the convention facilities or elsewhere at any time. All reports of violence or sexual harassment will promptly be investigated by show security. If an investigation confirms that a threat of a violent act, or violence/sexual harassment itself has occurred, GEEKEXPOAU will take swift appropriate corrective action with regard to the offending person, up to and including immediate discharge from the show and the facility.
