Code of Conduct

Crypto & Privacy Village (CPV) is a community-run conference, dedicated to providing a space for attendees and speakers to cross-industry network and knowledge-transfer. We also have an online space available year-round. We want participants at CPV to have a good experience that’s safe and welcoming (plus friendly). This Code of Conduct governs our expectations for all participants: volunteers, attendees, speakers, organisers, program committee members. This Code of Conduct applies for both CPV events and online spaces such as this Discord.
