About GDG Tokyo
Google Developers Group (GDG) Tokyo is a group of people who are interested in Google technology mainly and share information. We have study sessions in Tokyo on weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to join us if you are interested.
GDGs are local groups of developers who are specifically interested in Google products and APIs. Each local group is called a GDG chapter and can host a variety of technical activities for developers - from just a few people getting together to watch our latest videos, to large gatherings with demos and tech talks, to hackathons.

Code of conduct
When you join our programs, you’re joining a community. And like any growing community, a few ground rules about expected behavior are good for everyone. These guidelines cover both online (e.g. mailing lists, social channels) and offline (e.g. in-person meetups) behavior. Violations of this code of conduct can result in members being removed from the program. Use your best judgement, and if you’d like more clarity or have questions feel free to reach out.
Anti-Harassment Policy
Why do we have an official Anti-Harassment policy for GDG Tokyo events?
- It sets expectations for behavior at the event. Simply having an anti-harassment policy can prevent harassment.
- It encourages people to attend who have had bad experiences at other events
- It gives event staff/volunteers instructions on how to handle harassment quickly, with minimum amount of disruption for the event.
GDG Tokyo is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of:
- Gender
- Sexual Orientation
- Disability
- Gender Identity
- Age
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks. Event participants violating these rules may be expelled from the event, and event banned from future events at the discretion of the event organizers/management.
Harassment includes (but is not limited to):
- Offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity, age, race, religion
- The use or display of sexual images in public spaces
- Deliberate intimidation
- Stalking
- Harassing photography or recording
- Sustained disruption of talks or other events
- Inappropriate physical contact
- Unwelcome sexual attention
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Exhibiting partners and guests are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors and speakers should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material, or otherwise create a sexualized environment in their slide decks, exhibit material, exhibit staffing, promotional items or demo material.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an organizer or event volunteer immediately. Organizers and event volunteers may be identified by t-shirts or special badges/lanyards. Organizers will investigate the issue and take appropriate action. This may include helping participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist these experiencing harassment to fell safe for the duration of the event.
Though we hope that we never have to invoke this policy, we believe that having this document helps everyone think a little more about how their actions and words affect the whole community, as well as individuals in the community.
