Respect  |  Integrity  |  Professionalism

ADIA's values are Respect, Integrity and Professionalism. All participants are expected to actively promote these values when participating in ADIA events, including exhibitions, conferences, functions and webinars.

Respect

• Respect the meeting coordinator, host and other participants. Allow them to finish speaking before adding your voice.
• Where meetings are chaired, hosted or facilitated, use the "hands up" icon or chatbox to communicate your question or comment where possible.
• Disagreement must be respectful. Address the issue, not the person.
• Recognise other participants' expertise, knowledge, experience and information.
• Be respectful of other participants' time. Reiterating other participants' statements slows progress and does not add value to the meeting.
• Disrespectful, dismissive or other bullying behaviour will not be tolerated. People who display these behaviours may be removed from meetings and prevented from returning.

Integrity

• ADIA events are not the appropriate forum to share personal, political or social opinions.
• Recognise that the chair, host or facilitator may not raise every issue raised by every meeting participant.
• Ask questions to which you genuinely want the answer. Statements masquerading as questions are misleading and do not add value to the conversation.

Professionalism

• You are representing your company while attending an ADIA event. Your behaviour reflects on your company.
• Evidence-based positions, expertise, knowledge, experience and information that is different from yours is equally valid.
• Use your voice to add value. It is helpful to add relevant new information or insights.
