Convention Rules

Have as much fun as you can without encroaching on the fun of others. Respect the personal space, privacy, opinions, and feelings of your fellow members.
Follow all hotel rules and the direction of hotel staff.
For fire codes and everyones happiness, you must keep the walkways clear. Please step to the side to an alcove or sitting area for conversations and photography.
Wear your convention badge at all times at a location that is easily visible. We are sensitive to costumes, but please try to find an easily visible location above the waist. You must show your badge to any AnimeFest staff member who requests to see it. The convention badges are the property of AnimeFest and may be revoked at any time by an AnimeFest Director for any rules violation without a refund.
Do not put up signs, fliers, posters, etc... on the hotel walls or elevators. They will be removed and if the wall is damaged in the process we will track you down for damages. There are flier tables in registration and throughout the convention on which you can leave advertising materials .
Do not share your badge with others.
Sleeping is not allowed in the hotel lobby and function space.
Photography and videography may be dissallowed at certain events due to legal or contractual reasons. For these events you must leave your camera outside the room with a friend, in your hotel room, or in your vehicle.
Do not throw anything, especially off a balcony or roof. We have zero tolerance for this. You will be turned over to police, removed from the hotel, and quite possibly face legal prosecution. We've had too many problems with this in the past, don't test this rule.
No open alcholic beverages in convention rooms or foyer space. You are welcome to have these in your hotel room, restaurants, and bar, but not in our function space.
Emergency Exits are, well, for emergencies. Do not go out an Emergency Exit except in an emergency.
Do not create, use or distribute counterfeit badges. You will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and banned from AnimeFest permanently. It is also likely we will share your name and description with other conventions.
You must abide by the Weapons Policy and Dress Code
Solicitation, panhandling, or anything which could be interpreted as such, is not allowed. This includes signs like "Free Hugs", "25c Kisses", or "Glomp Me".
Skates, skateboards, wheelies, or similar footwear with wheels are not allowed to be worn or used in the hotel.
Please remember that hotel service personnel (e.g. Valet, Conceirge, and Houskeeping) derive a portion of their wages through tips. It is customary to tip $1-$5 depending on the service received. Con-goers tend to overwork and undertip the hotel staff, please fix this! Can you blame them for being flustered on Monday after you've stiffed them all weekend?
Purchase of an AnimeFest membership constitutes the acceptance of these rules. It also constitues a grant to AnimeFest and its legal representatives the irrevocable right and unrestricted permission to use and publish photographs or video images of me, or in which I may be included, for any purpose authorized by AnimeFest, including but not limited to: website use and advertising use.
