A high school student pitching her startup on stage at a conference received this text from a middle-aged event attendee;
"Hey! Nice to meet you at Demo Day today. It was fun to see how creative you were with your concept. You were really sexy in your apron ;) I will try to remember some tips and info to tomorrow. Complain if I happen to forget :P Talk later!" [https://link.medium.com/iRiWIGl16Z]
This keeps happening because
1) Conferences rarely have a stated code of conduct and
2) Even when they do, they rarely have a process for filing or receiving reports on event policy violations; I felt that something had to be done - so I built Konduct.
Konduct is a platform where event/conference/meetup/workshop/you name it-organizers easily can
1) generate a thoughtful and well-prepared code of conduct and hosted policy site, and at the same time
2) generate a website report widget that can be used anywhere on the organizer's event site where attendees quickly can report any event policy violations
It's simple, event organizers get
1) a site (konduct.co/my-event-name) and
2) a code snippet for the Konduct widget, which is a floating "Report incident"-button ready to embed on their own event site
All (eventual) event policy violation reports are saved and visible on the event organizers dashboard, ready for follow-up according to the reporters choice.
Want to test out the service?
File a (test) report on https://konduct.co with your email and receive an example of how the report looks like for both the event organizer and the event attendee.
I built Konduct because I genuinely believe that there has to be a change, all events should;
1) Have an explicit code of conduct
2) Upon eventual event policy violations, event attendees need a clear and easy way to create a report for the incident
This is a soft launch and we'd love your feedback!
