Dear friends of BaselOne,

end of August, we had to take the decision to cancel the conference as we used to know it due to COVID-19. Instead of cancelling the whole event, we developed an alternative program: the BaselOne Workshop Days. We shared this idea and the protection concept with our speakers and gathered lots of positive feedback and commitments for workshops.

Meanwhile, we went on with the organization of the event. The closer the date approaches and the more we are talking to potential attendees and sponsors, our doubts are becoming stronger that we cannot attract as many participants as wanted and needed.

The latest COVID-19 developments and the newly introduced obligation to wear masks in sales rooms and shopping centers in Basel leads to a restraint in attending events. As we cannot offer a networking apero either (according to our protection concept) another important element of our event would not take place.

Today, we evaluated the situation again and took the tough decision to cancel the whole event including the Workshop Days due to the latest uncertainties.

But we are looking ahead positively and will start planning the BaselOne 21 shortly.

We are really sorry to communicate such sad news. Don’t hesitate to contact us by email at info@baselone.ch for any question or comment you may have.

Thank you for your understanding and we are looking forward to meeting you in 2021.

Stay healthy!

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualised images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualised clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualised environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference. In case of an expulsion there is no right for refund.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified as they'll be wearing branded clothing.

Conference staff will be happy to help participants or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference-related social events.
