We value your safety and take pride in All-Con being a safe place where everybody is welcome and anybody can be whomever they desire. As such, certain kinds of offensive or harassing behavior will not be tolerated. To the best of our ability, we intend to eliminate inappropriate conduct from the convention.
Harassment can include:
Physically or verbally threatening
Annoying
Unwelcome attentions
Stalking
Pushing
Shoving
Use of physical force which in any way create a disturbance that is disruptive or dangerous
Any boisterous, lewd, or generally offensive behavior or language
Using sexually explicit or offensive language or conduct
Profanity or obscene gestures
Racial, religious, or ethnic slurs
If people tell you NO, your business with them is done. If you continue to attempt to have contact with such people, you may be removed from the premises and your membership revoked without refund.
Remember: "No" means no. "Stop" means stop. "Go away" means go away.
Costuming is not consent.
We have also taken steps to make it easier to report instances of harassing behavior. It is very important that if you are being harassed or are in any way endangered, you report it immediately. We cannot address anything that we are not made aware of, and we need whatever details can be provided, such as names, badge numbers, or other descriptive information.
If you feel you have been harassed, please find the nearest All-Con staff member (yellow vest). They will direct you to security.
If, at any time, you feel that your personal safety or the safety of others is in jeopardy, please contact the Police Department in an emergency via 9-1-1.
