Every attendee must comply with the

Anti-harassment policy 

The Independent Press Award and BookCAMP by Printed Word Reviews is committed to ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all participants at all IPA activities, meetings, and networking events. We expect all participants at IPA activities, meetings, and networking events to abide by this Anti-Harassment Policy in all venues, including ancillary events and official and unofficial social gatherings.

 

• Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions.

• Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, or threatening behavior and speech.

• Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.

• Alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of the Anti-Harassment Policy, even if they seem inconsequential.

 

Unacceptable behaviors include:

 

• Intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning speech or actions by any participant in any IPA meeting or networking event, at all related events, and in one-on-one communications carried out in the context of any IPA meeting or networking event. IPA event venues may be shared with members of the public; please be respectful to all patrons of these locations;

• Harmful or prejudicial verbal or written comments or visual images related to gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, religion, disability, age, appearance, or other personal characteristics;

• Inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces (including presentation slides);

• Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following;

• Harassing photography or recording;

• Sustained disruption of talks or other events;

• Unwelcome and uninvited attention or contact;

• Physical assault (including unwelcome touch or groping);

• Real or implied threat of physical harm;

• Real or implied threat of professional or financial damage or harm;

• Real or implied offer of work in exchange for sexual favors. 

 

IF YOU ARE BEING HARASSED, NOTICE THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS BEING HARASSED, OR HAVE ANY OTHER CONCERNS, PLEASE CONTACT A MEMBER OF THE IPA STAFF IMMEDIATELY. 

 

During a live event, staff can be identified by name badges and found at the registration table. During a virtual event, staff can be reached by emailing Ted@PrintedWordReviews or Gabby@IndependentPressAward.com All reports are confidential.

 

Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Unacceptable behavior from any participant at an IPA meeting or networking event, including anyone within IPA with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.

 

If a participant engages in unacceptable behavior, the IPA leadership will take any action they deem appropriate, including removal from the IPA meeting or event (without refund) at which the harassment occurred. Egregious violations will result in more severe sanctions.

In the event of a cancellation, Sponsor must provide written notice to BookCAMP. Sponsor will forfeit 50% of the cost of sponsorship and all sponsorship benefits if cancellation notification is received prior to January 1, 2025. From January 1, 2025 to up to ninety (90) days before the event, Sponsor will forfeit 80% of the cost of sponsorship and all sponsorship benefits.

5. Special Services

For insurance, safety, and security purposes, all cleaning, catering, shipping, and other special services (e.g. electricity, AV equipment, etc.) needed by individual Sponsors are provided only when the Sponsor orders these services through the venue and pays for them separately.

6. Show Regulations

It is agreed that BookCAMP shall have exclusive power in the matter of interpretation, amendment, and enforcement of all regulations that appear in this contract.

Demos that are found to be objectionably loud in audio volume, in BookCAMP's sole judgment, will first be issued a warning. If the initial warning is not adhered to, and the audio volume is not adjusted appropriately, BookCAMP may shut down the demo without a refund or any other type of compensation.

Sponsor’s liability shall include all losses, costs, damages, or expenses arising from, out of, or by reason of any accident or bodily injury or other occurrences to any person or persons, including the Sponsor, its agents, employees, and business invitees which arise from or out of the Sponsor’s occupancy and use of the exhibition premises, or any part thereof.
