We care deeply about making NewCrafts a safe and welcoming space for everyone.
As with everything, this involves making many trade-offs. We want to get better at prioritising the efforts that have the most impact on safety, comfort, diversity, and accessibility.

Code of Conduct (CoC)
We ask all participants, speakers, and staff, to adhere to our Code of Conduct, and mention it in the opening speech of the conference. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all participants. We fully intend to enforce it, and have scenarios in place for dealing with violations.
Conference Buddy
We have a partnership with Conference Buddy. The Conference Buddy initiative is designed for everyone who wants to attend a tech conference but is hesitant to attend by themselves. Conference Buddy aims to help first-timers, introverts, and anyone who might feel shy in the midst of a conference. You can add a Conference Buddy sticker to your badge if you actively want to participate. These stickers can be found at the reception.
Contact person
We have a contact person for reporting Code of Conduct violations and related concerns.
Dietary requirements
Water, tea, coffee and snacks are served throughout the day at the conference location. We inquire about dietary requirements during the registration process.
