Code of Conduct

We have included a code of conduct to ensure everyone has a positive experience. FriendCon Inc. (“FriendCon”) Administrators reserve the right to revoke your badge and remove you from the premises if a guideline is violated.

  1. No one under the age of 21 is allowed within FriendCon. While we are a friendly event, IDs will be checked and children are not allowed within the convention space, both for their safety and our own.
  2. You are responsible for your own actions and any consequences that result from that.
  3. Anyone who accepts a FriendCon badge agrees to indemnify and hold harmless FriendCon from any claim for personal injuries or other damages or equity arising out of any individual’s activities at FriendCon, even if such injury or damage is caused by negligence by or on the part of FriendCon.
  4. You must pay for a FriendCon badge and wear it at all times while you are in FriendCon space. 
  5. Attendees are expected to uphold reasonable standards of decency and behavior:
    1. All attendees shall practice basic hygiene during the event.
    2. While attending the event, belligerent and/or disrespectful behavior, especially as the result of excessive intoxication, will not be tolerated. Attendees who exhibit such behavior may face action up to and including forfeiture of their registration and removal from the event, at the discretion of administrative staff.
  6. FriendCon accepts no liability for actions of any kind taken by individuals in the confines of private hotel rooms. Responsibility for incidents occurring in hotel guest rooms rests solely upon the individual in whose name the room is rented. This includes payment for any and all damage, whether caused intentionally or unintentionally. Please note that if FriendCon is provided with sufficient evidence to suggest that illegal activities, particularly those that may cause harm to another person or to the well-being of the event as a whole, will be taking place in a hotel room, we may report such information to the appropriate authorities.
  7. No real weapons or anything capable of being fired are allowed within the convention. Final discretion about props or other items will be left up to the decision of the Administrators.
  8. There is no sale of merchandise unless approved by Administrators.
  9. FriendCon requires that you follow all hotel policies regarding alcohol consumption. Attendees shall not possess open containers in the event space. Attendees are not permitted to deposit alcoholic beverage containers in garbage receptacles located within the event space.
  10. FriendCon is dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable festival experience for everyone. Harassment of any kind, including but not limited to: physical assault, sexual assault, battery, deliberate intimidation, stalking, or unwelcome physical attentions, will not be tolerated. If a person says “no” or asks you to leave them alone, your business with them is done. Do not follow them or attempt to disrupt their festival experience in any way. If you continue to attempt to have contact with those people, you may have your badge revoked and may be removed from the premises.

    FriendCon is not responsible for mediating any interpersonal problems that may arise between individual attendees. Attendees who exhibit behavior that makes another attendee uncomfortable will be informed by an administrator to cease the behavior.

    Continuing this behavior will warrant an official warning; persistent behavior will result in the offender being removed from the event. Punishment shall be at the discretion of FriendCon administration.

  11. Local, state, and federal laws apply within FriendCon. If you appear to be a danger to yourself or others, Administrators reserve the right to protect all involved parties. 
  12. Upon registration, you hereby grant FriendCon the right to photograph, videotape, or otherwise digitally record or collect your name, image, likeness, voice, sounds, plus any other information you provide, associated with your attendance at and/or participation in any FriendCon events. FriendCon attendees may request the removal of this information from official FriendCon channels at any time, for any reason.
  13. Pets are not allowed in the FriendCon convention space.
  14. FriendCon follows COVID-19 Guidelines.
