Health & Safety

Our attendees’ health and safety are our top priority. We continue to look to WHO guidelines to make the best and most informed decisions around onsite safety requirements.

We are aligned with the public recommendations and regulations. No separate official health regulations for mandatory mask-wearing are currently announced or expected. While masks are not required, we welcome participants who wear them. Masks and testing kits will be available at the NumFOCUS table.

Code of Conduct

Attendees at the NumFOCUS Summit are subject to the NumFOCUS Code of Conduct.

We value the participation of each Summit attendee and want everyone to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the Summit and at all Summit-related events, whether officially sponsored by NumFOCUS or not. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

We reproduce here certain portions of the NumFOCUS Code of Conduct that are specifically relevant to in-person events. We encourage all Summit attendees to review the complete Code of Conduct.
