When I was six years old, my parents were trying to find a good house to rent, at a reasonable price, in a good school district.

Every association wants their conference attendees to feel safe and welcome at their events. But, at the same time, if an attendee does face harassment or witnesses other unwelcome behavior , there needs to be a system in place that allows a conferencegoer to easily report it.
