The Conference Ombuds: An Independent and Confidential Resource to Raise Concerns at WEFTEC
Private. Confidential. Effective.
The term “ombuds” (pronounced “ahm–buhds”) comes from a Swedish term meaning “a person who has an ear to the people.”
The Conference Ombuds is an impartial, independent, off-the-record resource who is available on-site to hear concerns confidentially. The Ombuds can assist with identifying options and resources to address conflicts or issues such as harassment, discrimination, or any violation of WEF’s Member Code of Conduct and Conference Code of Conduct. This resource is available to all attendees, staff, exhibitors, and anyone participating in WEFTEC.
The Conference Ombuds will be available during WEFTEC for individual, confidential consultations. The ombuds meeting space is located in room B202 at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center.
Scheduled or walk-in consultations are available during October 7 – 9, 2024.
