Background: A speaker at C++Now was excluded from their conference by their code of conduct team. A session proposal for ACCU 2023 was received from this individual during the Call for Papers and accepted within the programme.
Following feedback received from other presenters, the committee has carefully reviewed this matter at length, and we can confirm that the individual will not now be attending at the conference.
In addition, we want to take this opportunity to state that at ACCU Conference we take safety of our participants very seriously and all of them (speakers, delegates and exhibitors) will be required to agree to the ACCU Code of Conduct and to accept the consequences if this is violated.
We are saddened that a few speakers chose to withdraw their session due to this incident. We invite those that contacted us to consider returning their session to the schedule.
The program will be back online after all the changes that have now occurred have been incorporated.
If you have any further concerns please do contact our Conference Team on admin@accuconference.org
