Libertine Events | Podcast-A-Palooza® Code of Conduct

Carnival Miami – October 20-23rd, 2023

Welcome to Carnival Miami hosted by Libertine Events LLC. We’ve put together a comprehensive set of guidelines to ensure everyone enjoys a remarkable experience during our event. These guidelines have been meticulously curated by us and will be strictly upheld throughout the duration of the event. Please read through this document to familiarize yourself with our expectations. If you have any inquiries or concerns, don’t hesitate to engage with our hosts.

Creating an Atmosphere of Respect

Our primary goal is to foster a welcoming, safe, and positive atmosphere for all attendees. To ensure this, we kindly ask you to adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Show respect to all attendees. Taking photographs or videos of others in public areas without consent is strictly prohibited. If you believe your photo is being taken without permission, kindly request the person to stop or report it to on-site hosts or security personnel.
  • Treat fellow attendees with the utmost respect. We have a zero-tolerance policy for racism, sexist comments, and violence. Violators will be promptly removed from the event.
  • Extend this respect to the venue itself. Please maintain cleanliness in communal areas and leave rooms in the same condition as you found them.

Prioritizing Consent

Our events uphold the paramount value of consent. Participation in any activity without consent is never obligatory. We hold the principle of ‘Always Ask First’ above all else. This rule admits no exceptions – all attendees, regardless of gender, are accountable for their actions without exception.

Should anyone be observed deviating from the consent expectations set by the hosts or individuals, they will be respectfully requested to leave the event.

We proudly align ourselves with the National Coalition of Sexual Freedom. For more comprehensive insight into the framework of consent, please explore https://ncsfreedom.org/key-programs-2/consent-counts/

Prohibited Items

Illicit and illegal substances will not be tolerated at this event. If you are discovered with illicit / illegal substances the matter will be handed over to the police.

Our events practice the responsible service of alcohol. All events will have alcohol served as per the local legal requirements as well as the licensing requirements of our service provider. Note that these requirements may change from event to event but will always be enforced to the local legal requirement.

Should the venue have a standard that is above the local legal requirement, we will adhere to this.

Additionally, alcohol will not be provided to anyone that the hosts (or by extension the venue) staff deems to be unduly intoxicated or disorderly. A person may be taken to be unduly intoxicated if the persons speech, balance, coordination, or behavior is noticeably affected.

This is a private event and attendees are not permitted to carry weapons of any kind, including, without limitation, concealed or displayed firearms, or anything that may be construed as a weapon onto the premises of any official event. The hosts reserve the right to require anyone who violates this policy to immediately leave the premises of any official event, and to deactivate and/or revoke the credentials of such Participants.

Guidelines for Social Media

We encourage you to share your event experiences on social media using #LibertineEvents and #LibertineMiami. However, we kindly request that you refrain from sharing the host hotel’s name or location. This is to safeguard the privacy and security of our attendees. This also extends to not geotagging or photographing hotel signs.

Host Hotel

Our host hotel is of the utmost importance to the continued protection of our lifestyle, as such we expect all attendees to always follow the rules and requirements of the hotel. Libertine Events are a guest of the host hotel, any derogatory, disrespectful, or offensive behaviour will be notified immediately to the host and you will be removed from the property.

Food and Beverage

Please make use of the food and beverage options available at the host hotel. Outside food and beverages are not permitted in public areas. We collaborate with the venue to offer convenient and cost-effective options while supporting local businesses.

Pool Activities and Clothing

Libertine Events and the host hotel have agreed that the pool area is designated as clothing optional, we do however ask that you place on a cover up whilst accessing the outside bar and that you re-dress before entering the main areas of the hotel. Under no circumstances are attendees permitted to be engaging in lewd behaviour in public spaces.

The pool will be open under the normal operating hours following hotel policies.

You are permitted to bring pool games, inflatables, and other activities to the pool area. Please ensure all trash or personal items are collected after your time by the pool. Smoking is only permitted in the designated hotel areas.

Personal Items

Safeguard your valuables by using the in-room safety deposit box provided by the host hotel. The hotel is not responsible for items left outside the deposit box.

Sexual Activities

Please refrain from engaging in sexual activities in public areas. While you’re welcome to connect with others and explore personal connections, these activities should be reserved for private spaces. We’ve designated a sensual room on-site for this purpose, located in the Penthouse of the ocean building and operating between the hours of 9pm to 2am. The sensual space is sponsored by Casual Toys and will be staffed during operating hours. Within these areas you are permitted to explore your sensual side however, we do ask that you are appropriately clothed whilst moving from space to space.

Security Measures

Your safety is our priority. Libertine Events have engaged the services of a local licenced security firm in Miami. Our event will be secure 24 hours day, security personnel will be stationed at the main lobby entrance and the outdoor pool area of the hotel, an additional staff member will be utilized during high traffic hours whilst our pool parties are operational. Please conduct yourself in a helpful manner and display your official Libertine Events wristband upon entry and departure from the secured areas.

Our security personnel are there to help you, if you encounter any issues, our security personnel are here to assist you. Remember, the “see something, say something” policy applies.

As our hotel is in South Beach with direct beach access, we will be placing security / privacy barriers on the boardwalk to stop any unnecessary gawking. We will also be placing a parasail on the right-hand side of the pool area to block off the stairwell access from the hotel next door.

Offsite guests

Our event is for people who have an official Libertine Carnival ticket and wristband. No day passes are permitted, and no outside guests are permitted to any part of the host hotel for the duration of our stay. All guests will be checked upon arrival to the host, any guest who cannot provide the official ticket and wristband for Libertine Events will not be permitted entry.

We’re thrilled to have you join us at Libertine Events Carnival. For any inquiries regarding this code of conduct or the event itself, please feel free to contact Cate directly.

Get ready to celebrate and have a fantastic time!

Regards,

Cate
