Cosplayers are more than welcome to wear their projects at our event. As always, we do want to make sure that everyone has the safest time possible. Here are the conduct expectations for cosplayers and con-goers. Please do not get expelled from the con without refund or recourse and possibly referred to local law enforcement for violating these guidelines.
We abide by the Golden Rule of Cosplay. While we will seek to accommodate cosplayers (and if you need an accommodation, please ask), cosplayers must also accommodate other con-goers. Please do not prevent others from enjoying the cons with posing and setups of pictures, blocking thoroughfares, using overpowering lights and sounds unexpectedly, or behaving in character to the point that it becomes and issue.
