Disruptive Behaviors:

 

If any of these violations occur, Kinda!Con staff has the right to take action from a stern warning, to revocation of badge and expulsion from the event without refund. Examples of these violations are:

 

– Fighting

– Stealing Artwork

– Offensive or Inappropriate Clothing and/or Behavior 

– Sexual Harassment

– Failure to adhere to basic hygiene

– Offensive Language

If behaviors are problematic, Kinda!Con staff reserves the right to take action. Respect your fellow con-goers, and treat them as how you would want to be treated. We're here to have fun, remember?

 

Harassment:

 

Kinda!Con will not tolerate any harassment on the convention premises.

 

Harassment would include offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, and inappropriate/non-consensual sexual attention. Participants who are requested to stop any behavior are expected to do so immediately, otherwise action will be taken as deemed appropriate by the staffer.

 

If you feel harassed, or notice someone else feels harassed, staffers around the convention and at the registration desk will be available to address the issue.

 

Cosplay:

 

First and foremost, Cosplay does NOT equal consent. Any inappropriate behavior toward cosplayers observed by Kinda!con staff will be met with action immediately.

 

Shoes/footwear are required at all times.

 

Rollerblades/Heelys are prohibited for obvious safety concerns

 

Masks worn by attendees should be easily removable on-request by staff.

This is a family friendly event - please be appropriate. There are like, children here!
