Some activities or events at conferences, or conferences themselves, are known to come with a high risk of harassment occuring. This page is a non-exhaustive list of these, and suggests some mitigation you can do.
Photography competitions
Photography at geek events is often a concern for women, as they are disproportionately chosen as subjects and sometimes find themselves stealth-photographed. Photography competitions increase the incentive to take eye-catching photographs of the conference, which increases the pressure on women.
Strategies:
- don't run a photography competition
- run a competition focusing on the local area or sights or other non-human attractions
- limit it to crowd shots
- require that any person in a portrait (non-crowd) shot be explicitly asked for consent for a competition photo
