RBTC Member Code of Conduct

Non members are welcome at many RBTC (formerly the NCTC) events, but are expected to abide by the RBTC code of conduct. This is to ensure that our members feel comfortable and encourage an energetic, cooperative environment.
 
Informal networks are an important part of every technology community for peer support, mentoring, sharing of best practices, and building relationships. Therefore, most RBTC events will include time for networking and it’s important that our members and attendees feel comfortable at these events. We therefore discourage the following activity:
  • Solicitation at Events – Every successful technology firm will agree that it is important to have strong relationships with their supply chain, service providers and other partners. The RBTC is a great place to build long term relationships with and learn more about the local technology community, but our members generally do not want to be “pitched” or “sold to” at RBTC events. 
  • Email, SPAM, and Unsolicited Calls – Along the same lines, unless otherwise agreed upon or invited to do so, please refrain from spamming, blind-copy emailing RBTC attendees/members, and other forms of phone or email solicitation.
 
Anyone that does not comply with the spirit of this code of conduct may be asked to leave an event and/or may be not be welcome at future RBTC events. If that person is a member of the RBTC, his/her membership and membership dues may be forfeited as well. 
 
The RBTC is a member-funded organization. So, if you find value in what we are doing and/or you enjoy attending our events, we encourage you to become a member. If you want to get exposure for your company or brand with the RBTC membership, consider sponsoring a RBTC event. 75% of the RBTC’s annual budget is provided by a relatively small group of annual sponsors and event sponsors. That’s how we keep our member rates so low.
 
We encourage the following:
 
Please understand that these guidelines are to ensure that the RBTC remains a strong organization for the region’s emerging technology community and we welcome those that want to support or contribute to our mission.

 
Thank you,
 
The RBTC Board of Directors
