Codes of Conduct

Attendees may NOT:

1. Request physical contact from Guests, ie: hugs and kisses, or to sit on the Guests lap. 

2. Request a date or other intimate, social or sexual engagement from the Guest. 

3. Ask questions of a political or controversial nature, ie: asking about a Guests political beliefs or affiliations, asking the Guests religious beliefs, asking the Guest to speak on highly controversial topics relating to ideological, political or religious movements. 

4. Demand that a Guest accept gifts or favours from the Attendee. You may offer gifts, but be prepared to accept “No thank you” as a response. 

5. Continually ask the same question of the Guest. If a Guest chooses not to answer a question, you may not press them again for an answer.

6. Interrupt other Attendees or in any way seek to prevent them from asking their own appropriate questions. Multiple interruptions of others in attendance will result in you being asked to leave the meeting. 

7. Take photos or video. ALL video or photography during the meet and greet is strictly prohibited.

Attendees may NOT:

1. Request autographs be done on body parts or on items worn by the attendee. 

2. Demand personalization for each autograph. Attendees may make a request if time permits, but Guests and Organizers maintain right to deny personalizations at their discretion. 

3. Hold up the line to “chat” with the Guests. Everyone is waiting their turn, and the Guests time is limited. Interactions with Guests must be kept brief. 

4. Ask for selfies or hugs from the guests. The time is limited for the Guests to give autographs to each ticket holder. Asking for personal contact with the Guests is inappropriate and disruptive. 

5. Take photo or video of the Guests in the autograph area. This is strictly prohibited. 

6. Demanding a Guest autograph an item of which Guests do not approve due to it being inappropriate or offensive. Guests maintain the right to refuse autographing an item at their discretion should they find the item inappropriate or offensive. 

Attendees may NOT:

1. Demand or expect hugs, kisses, or other physical contact from the Guest. If the Guest offers to hug the Attendee, be respectful of personal boundaries and do not engage in any inappropriate, harassing or abusive touching. ANY inappropriate non-consensual physical contact could result in your immediate removal from the event, with possible legal consequences. 

2. Have the photo taken on the Attendees personal device (ie. camera or phone). All photos are taken by the photographer with their equipment only. 

3. Take photos or video of the Guest or photography space while waiting in line. This disrupts the professional photographer and those being photographed. ALL photos and video are strictly prohibited in the photo op area. 

1. Attendees must be respectful of the Guests, other Attendees, and Organizers during the event. 

2. Do NOT take video or flash photography during panels and Q&A. Only NO-FLASH photography is permitted. 

3. During general Q&A, Attendees will keep their questions respectful to all Guests and Attendees, and keep them short. Long drawn out questions or personal stories disrupt the flow of the event, and limit other attendees from having time to ask their own questions. Organizers maintain the right at their discretion to cut a question or story short to ensure time for all attendees to enjoy the event. 

4. Do NOT engage in any unsolicited and non-consensual physical contact with any Guest, Attendee or Organizer. This event holds a zero tolerance policy for any unwanted touching, hugs, or requests for physical contact. Remember, our Guests are people with their own personal boundaries and deserve to have their personal space respected at all times. 

5. ​Limit excessive talking or noise disruptions during panels discussions and Q&A time. Everyone deserves the right to the same enjoyable experience, and excessing talking or noise is disruptive and disrespectful to other Attendees and Guests.
