GMiS is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of age, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, nationality, race or religion. We expect all of our attendees to contribute to a professional and respectful atmosphere. All attendees – students, professionals, educators, executives, speakers, exhibitors, staff, stakeholders, guests and volunteers – are required to comply with the GMiS Code of Conduct. GMiS Staff will enforce this code throughout the event to ensure a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. Anyone violating these rules may receive a written warning or be asked to leave the event at the sole discretion of GMiS without a refund of any charge. Appropriate legal action will be taken against violators where applicable. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a GMiS Staff.

GMiS reserves the right to modify, postpone/reschedule or cancel events. If there is a conference cancellation, we will reschedule if feasible and registration fees will be applied to the rescheduled event date. If a cancelled conference cannot be rescheduled, GMiS will automatically apply any registration fees that have been paid to our next conference. Registrants interested in making other arrangements may email us. Registrants should also cancel or modify their room reservations at any conference hotel. Any travel, lodging, or incidental expenses incurred related to a cancelled event cannot be refunded under any circumstances.
