Modeling Mobility Conference: Code of Conduct

The Modeling Mobility Conference (MoMo) and the organizing Zephyr Foundation (Zephyr) are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all participants. We believe in open collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and the creation of high-quality, innovative work — all grounded in principles that guide our community and support the public good.

Zephyr Guiding Principles

All participants — including attendees, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers, and staff — are expected to:

• Treat others with respect
• Communicate in a constructive and professional manner
• Welcome different perspectives, even in disagreement
