  <h1>UCAR Conference Code of Conduct</h1>
  <p>

    participants and UCAR staff. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees,
    speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, UCAR staff, service providers, and others are required
    to abide by the UCAR Meetings Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct applies to all UCAR
    meeting-related events, including those sponsored by organizations other than UCAR but
    held in conjunction with UCAR events, in public or private facilities.

      to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion,
      national origin, inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces or
      in presentations, or threatening or stalking any attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor,

  <h2>Consequences</h2>
  <ul>
    <li>Anyone requested to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.</li>

      including immediate removal from the meeting without warning or refund.</li>
    <li>UCAR reserves the right to prohibit attendance at any future meeting.</li>
    <li>Notification of an infraction to a Home Institution. In cases where there has been a code
      of conduct violation and the violation has caused serious personal and/or professional
      harm, the home institution of the Offender may be notified of an infraction resulting
      from a complaint to UCAR.</li>
