I used to run a Meetup in NYC called "Hack and Tell." For the first 5 years or something I kind of expected people to just be nice to each other, and do the right thing. Then, I started having private conversations with people, some women, some POC, and realized they had bad interactions that I just simply wasn't aware of.
So, yeah, it's nice to think that people will behave and do the right thing, but it's not guaranteed, and everyone will have a *better* experience if there's a code of conduct and it's taken seriously and enforced. +1000 on having a code of conduct.
