Convention Policies

Anti-Harassment Policy

Game & Party is a family friendly event and common courtesy is expected from our attendees. Some areas leading to Game & Party event space may be shared with the Hotel; please be respectful to all guests of these locations. As a family friendly convention, we will not tolerate unacceptable behavior.

Unacceptable behaviors include: vulgar, intimidating, harassing, abusive, derogatory, discriminatory, or demeaning conduct by any attendees and convention staff of Game & Party and its related events and functions. Drunkenness, excessive rudeness, and overuse of profanity will also not be accepted.

Harassment includes: offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability; inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of events; inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Proper Behavior

Convention management reserves the right to deny entry or remove any person from the event behaving in a manner which event management considers disruptive. Engaging in any of these acts puts you at risk for immediate removal from the convention, and a permanent ban from Game & Party in the future.

All of the following constitute grounds for expulsion from the convention without refund:

  • Violating any federal, state, or local laws, facility rules or convention policies
  • Failure to comply with the instructions of staff or the hotel personnel

  • Endangering the safety of oneself or others
  • Threatening, stealing, cheating or harassing others

Game & Party Con is a fun gaming experience in a great hotel. We’ll have crew members around keeping an eye on things, but when it comes down to it your personal security and the safety of your property is your responsibility. Game & Party and its staff are not responsible or liable for any loss of items or property or the physical safety of attendees, volunteers, vendors, or guests. However, we do maintain a “Lost & Found” area at the Registration Desk and will do our best to help reunite you with any lost property if at all possible.

Police will be notified of anyone found stealing or harming another person.

During the convention, you may find yourself at some time or other in front of a camera. We reserve the right to use the likeness of any volunteers, attendees, guests, or vendors in video or still images or audio recording for promotional purposes. By registering or volunteering for TantrumCon, you are consenting to our use of your likeness for such promotional purposes.

Outside food and drink and alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the convention space. You can purchase concessions tickets online before or during the convention, attend events with food, and use the hotel restaurant. Regardless of what you eat/drink, please do so responsibly – clean up your trash.

Finally, remember that Game & Party Con reserves the right to revoke convention badges and have any person(s) removed from the convention/hotel should the need arise.

In addition, the display of offensive material or disruptive sounds/music may be cause for removal from the convention.
