1 - Preamble & Scope
HubSpot Builder events bring together builders, developers, partners, customers, and users of HubSpot AI connectors to learn, collaborate, and connect. This Code of Conduct applies to Platform Marketing and Dev Community events — including virtual webinars, in-person meetups, mentorship programs, and other HubSpot-hosted events that serve our developer and builder ecosystems. It applies to all participants (attendees, speakers, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and HubSpot staff) and to all event-related spaces and activities. Your registration for, or attendance at, any HubSpot event, whether in-person or virtual, constitutes your agreement to abide by this Code of Conduct.
Our expectation — be respectful, be considerate
2 - All participants should:
-
-
-
- Treat others with respect, kindness, and courtesy.
- Use inclusive language and behavior; avoid demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing remarks.
- Respect personal boundaries and consent in physical and virtual spaces.
- Respect session flow: do not repeatedly interrupt presenters or monopolize Q&A.
- Follow platform, venue, speaker, and moderator instructions.
These expectations help create productive, welcoming sessions for everyone.
2a. Unacceptable Behavior (examples — non-exhaustive)
Unacceptable conduct includes:
-
-
-
- Harassment, intimidation, stalking, or sustained disruption of sessions.
- Derogatory comments, slurs, or hateful language toward protected characteristics (race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, nationality, etc.).
- Sexual language, imagery, or unwelcome sexual attention.
- Unwelcome physical contact, or photographing/recording others without permission.
- Doxxing, threats, or sustained abusive private messaging.
- Retaliation against anyone for reporting a concern.
- Any illegal activity.
If you are asked to stop inappropriate or harassing behavior, you are expected to comply immediately.
2b. Communications & Solicitation
Be respectful when networking and conducting outreach. Do not scrape attendee contact information, send unsolicited commercial pitches, or otherwise spam attendees. Peer-to-peer networking is encouraged; commercial outreach should follow event-specific rules and appropriate channels.
Report abusive or predatory solicitation to event staff so we can investigate and act.
2c. Recording & Intellectual Property
-
-
-
- Do not record audio, video, screen-share, or take photographs of sessions, speakers, or other attendees unless expressly permitted by the speaker and event organizer.
- Speaker agreements and venue contracts may include additional restrictions; if a session will be recorded it will be announced and the intended use of the recording will be made clear.
2d. Social Media Monitoring
Event organizers may monitor event-related public social channels (official hashtags, public event pages, or designated channels). HubSpot does not use this monitoring to collect or process personal data beyond what is necessary to respond to safety or conduct concerns, consistent with HubSpot's Privacy Policy.
3 - Reporting Violations — how to get help
We take reports seriously and will act to protect participant safety, privacy, and fairness.

If someone is in immediate danger, call local emergency services first, then notify event staff so we can assist.

- Locate a HubSpot staff member, volunteer, or the registration desk (staff will be identifiable).
