Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy

At the D8 Summit, we believe that around a gaming table, all people are equal. As a result, we openly support all people to join us and share in the laughter and fun.

The D8 Summit Charity Convention and its volunteers will not discriminate against anybody on the basis of any real or perceived minority status. These include but aren't limited to: gender (and gender identity), age, race, ethnicity, religion, veteran status, physical ability, sexual orientation, body shape, and neurodivergence.

In line with this policy, the D8 Summit Charity Convention will not tolerate harassment of any kind for any reason by anybody (volunteer or attendee). This includes physical, verbal, and sexual harassment, as well as stalking.

How We Act Upon This Policy

The D8 Summit takes great steps to be supportive of all players, and this means we will act when presented allegations. We have never asked anybody to leave our events, but we will. If asked to leave by the convention, affected parties will not be issued a refund.

How to Report Potential Misconduct

If an attendee witnesses anybody violating this policy, please let a Volunteer Board Member know right away. Board Members can be easily identified by their badge which clearly calls their position, on a silver stripe at the bottom of the badge. Board Members are often found at the registration and administration tables, as well as wandering around the event.
