Hi Kim,
I recommend checking out the Cvent CONNECT 2025 Terms & Conditions in the registration process as an example. There's a section in there for code of conduct. Pasting part of it below as well:
"CODE OF CONDUCT

Subject: Code of Conduct wording?
Hello, we have been tasked with creating a code of conduct for our events. Does anyone use a code of conduct, and would you be willing to share the wording? It would be helpful to have a jumping off place. Thank you!
