Inman Code of Conduct

Inman is committed to creating a safe and inclusive experience for our readers, customers and attendees, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race or religion. We do not tolerate harassment in any form.

All communication — including at the event and various associated venues, as well as online — should be appropriate for a professional audience, including people of many different backgrounds and experiences.

Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Act professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate at any time at any Inman event or online setting.

Anyone violating these rules may be asked to leave the conference or online forum without a refund at the sole discretion of the Inman staff. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is or have any concerns, please contact a Inman staff team member immediately.

Thank you for helping make Inman welcoming, friendly places for all to share new ideas, learn and connect.

AI Standards and Guidelines for the Inman Newsroom

AI is a tool we use to help journalists, but our newsroom is responsible for what’s published.

A journalist and editor review and edit everything created by AI — charts, graphics, etc. — before it’s published.

None of our articles are created and reported solely by AI.

AI output is treated as unvetted source material by our journalists.

We do not use AI to alter news photos.  When we use AI for non-news photos, we disclose that usage.

We disclose use of AI if/when it materially contributes to an article.

AI is never used without human oversight.
