Code of Conduct

All attendees are expected to adhere to the DLF Code of Conduct, which outlines our commitment to providing a welcoming and harassment-free environment for everyone.

DLF staff will be identifiable by their name badges and white lanyards. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need support or witness behavior that violates the Code.

Active Bystander Training

We encourage all participants to watch our Active Bystander Training session. It provides tools for safely intervening in situations of harassment or bias, aligning with our values of community care and mutual respect.

The training was created by DLF’s Committee for Equity and Inclusion. All attendees are strongly encouraged to review it before the event.

Health Protocols

We are committed to providing a safe environment for all participants. Our health practices include:

  • Masks are welcome and encouraged based on personal comfort.
  • Masks and hand sanitizer will be available at the registration desk.
  • A designated quiet space will be available for rest and breaks.

If you have any health-related concerns or accessibility needs, please contact us at forum@diglib.org.

Photography Guidelines

We respect attendees’ preferences when it comes to being photographed or recorded. When registering, attendees can indicate their preferences, which are visible via lanyard color:

  • Black lanyards: Okay to photograph
  • Yellow lanyards: Do not photograph

Please always ask for consent before taking photos, videos, or recordings of others. Respect and care are foundational to our community.

Resources for Families

Nursing Room

We will provide a nursing room onsite for those who prefer a quiet, private place to breastfeed their baby or pump. However, please feed your baby whenever and wherever you like. We strive to be a friendly environment for families. Please ask for the key to the nursing room at the conference registration desk. This room is accessible to one family at a time and is located in a private room away from the conference spaces.

Childcare and Family Activities

While we are not able to provide onsite childcare at the DLF Forum this year, the planning team has compiled a list of resources that may help.

Local babysitter agencies & referral services

* Please Note: Many of these agencies will require registration in advance. We would encourage you to ask about background checks, references, and liability insurance.
