Code of Conduct

The Institute of Jainology (IoJ) is honoured to represent the Jain community at significant public, academic, and national occasions. Guests play an important role in reflecting the dignity and values of our community. This Code of Conduct ensures that all attendees can participate with confidence, comfort, and respect. By attending an IoJ event, you agree to follow these guidelines:

  1. Courtesy and Guidance
    Please follow directions from IoJ representatives, venue staff, and security teams. This helps events run smoothly and ensures a safe and respectful environment for all.
  2. Photography and Recording
    Where photography, filming, or live streaming is restricted, guests are asked to refrain from taking photos or recording. This protects the privacy of participants, the rules of the venue and maintains the formality of the occasion.
  3. Respectful Interactions
    Please do not approach speakers, dignitaries, or official guests for informal photos. This preserves their focus and the decorum of the event.
  4. Dress Code
    When a dress code is specified, your adherence helps create a unified and dignified representation of the Jain community.
  5. Professional Conduct
    We ask all guests to be punctual, attentive, and courteous throughout, allowing everyone to enjoy a smooth and meaningful event experience.
  6. Departure Procedures
    Please follow instructions for departure promptly to support orderly event management.
  7. Media and Communications
    Public statements, press releases, or event-related social media content should only be shared with prior written IoJ approval to ensure accurate representation.
  8. Ticketing and Invitations
    Tickets are issued strictly only to individuals who have received a personal invitation from the Institute of Jainology. Tickets are non-transferable.
    Please do not: obtain tickets without having received a personal invitation from the IoJ; contact the venue/host directly to request tickets or event access, or engage the venue for any reason related to the event (e.g. logistics, guest lists, arrangements) without IoJ’s authorisation. Not abiding by this will result in the cancellation of tickets.

IoJ reserves the right to deny entry, remove individuals, or restrict future attendance if these expectations are not met.
