@karen @christi3k Karen: Speak to @josh and @phpledge regarding the Safety Policy - the Public Health Pledge team have been helping events for months now.
If you're serious about safety, you're leaving this rather late in the process.
The policy should really be considered *first* before deciding to 1) run the conference or 2) choose the venue.
It certainly needs to be in place before calling for anyone to participate, as without it how can anyone decide to commit?
