CTO FEST '27 is a room of technical leaders who trust each other enough to talk openly. This code keeps it that way. It applies to everyone: attendees, speakers, partners, mentors and organisers.
The room's rules
No attendee list leaves the building. Attendee details are not used for outreach, and there is no mass mailing afterwards.
No pitch from the stage. Speakers share what they built and learned. Nothing is sold from the stage.
Introductions are opt-in. Nobody is introduced without agreeing first, and a no is respected.
How we treat each other
Be respectful in talks, roundtables, stations and conversations. Disagree with ideas, not with people.
Harassment and discrimination of any kind are not accepted, in person or online.
Ask before you photograph or record someone, and before you share what was said in a closed roundtable.
Organisers may ask anyone who breaks this code to leave the festival.
If something is wrong
Talk to any organiser on site, at any moment of the day or the build. You can also ask an organiser to step in on your behalf.
