Terms of Participation

Mixed media release
As an attendee, speaker, sponsor, volunteer, or participant in any other capacity (each, an "attendee" or "you") of Wisdom 2023, I understand that at activities and promotions offered at Wisdom 2023 by Proofpoint, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries ("Proofpoint"), I may be photographed and/or recorded. I hereby irrevocably consent and authorize Proofpoint to use any image of my appearance, including without limitation any photo, video, or likeness, (collectively, "Images") that Proofpoint has taken while I attend Wisdom 2023, for any and all purposes deemed appropriate by Proofpoint, which may include, but not limited to, use in a promotional video, film, or photograph, and exhibition, a public display, commercials, art, and advertising, or for any other related purpose on the Proofpoint website, in literature, publications, and on the internet without any fee whatsoever.

Data privacy
Any Wisdom 2023 attendee information that may be collected at this event will be used by Proofpoint and its affiliates and subsidiaries for legitimate business purposes in accordance with the Proofpoint Privacy Policy. Proofpoint may also access and/or disclose the information if we believe such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or legal process served on Proofpoint, (b) Wisdom and defend the rights or property of Proofpoint (including the enforcement of our agreements), or (c) act in urgent circumstances to Wisdom the personal safety of other attendees, Proofpoint employees or contingent staff, users of Proofpoint services, or members of the public.

Wisdom code of behavior

Our expectations
Proofpoint values collaboration and community. We want our virtual experience to provide an opportunity for all participants (including staff, speakers, presenters, attendees, sponsors, vendors, and guests) to collaborate, learn, participate, and network in an environment that is productive and respectful. We expect participants to be courteous and act professionally at all Proofpoint events and to interact and communicate in ways that are appropriate for a professional audience from diverse backgrounds.

Behaviors inconsistent with these expectations include:

  • Harassment or conduct, language, or other action inappropriate for a professional setting that negatively refers to a participant's race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, or physical appearance.
  • Problematic conduct and language may include the nature and manner of communications (including through jokes or imagery), uninvited contact or following, and unwelcome sexual attention, among others.
  • No "Zoom bombing" or other behavior designed or intended to disrupt and or interfere with Wisdom sessions.

Chat guidelines for attendees
For all chat interactions during Wisdom 2023, we expect participants to abide by the event's Code of Behavior to ensure the environment remains productive and respectful. The following chat guidelines will further help ensure we maintain an inclusive community throughout our two-day event:

  • Be respectful of others.
  • Avoid conflicts and arguments.
  • Use common sense, kindness, and consideration together with the guidelines outlined above.

Enforcement
If a participant engages in behavior that doesn't comply with these expectations, Proofpoint may take any action that we deem appropriate, including warning the participant, excluding the participant from certain activities, prohibiting the participant from attending future Proofpoint events, expelling the participant from the conference without a refund, and referring the matter to the local authorities. Participants asked to stop any harassing or other unacceptable behavior are expected to comply immediately. If the participant is a Proofpoint employee, Proofpoint also reserves the right to take full disciplinary action pursuant to our internal policies.

Please note, while we take all concerns raised seriously, we will use our discretion to determine when and how to follow up on reported incidents and may decline to take any further action and/or may direct the participant to other resources to address the concern.

Reporting an issue
If you feel that a participant is not adhering to these expectations, please contact a member of the Proofpoint conference staff and submit a report with your name, phone number and contact details and a description of the situation to wisdom@proofpoint.com to report a violation of this Code of Behavior. The virtual experience staff will be clearly identified with a "Staff" marker by their name.

The reporting mechanisms under this Wisdom Code of Behavior are not intended to address criminal activity or emergency situations. If you have been the victim of a crime or there is an emergency, please contact the appropriate municipal authorities, such as the police, fire, medical or other emergency responder.

You acknowledge that you have read, and agree that you shall conduct yourself consistent with, the Wisdom Code of Behavior.

Information for presenters
Presenters and sponsors, who are unsure whether their presentations or other materials and communications are consistent with the Wisdom Code of Behavior, please contact wisdom@proofpoint.com in advance of the virtual experience.
