THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PHOENIX COMICON<br />
Phoenix Comicon Spans 4 Days, 4 Floors, and 3 Hotels<br />
We are more than just a pop culture<br />
convention - we are a pop culture<br />
experience. The Phoenix Convention<br />
Center Lower Level features the Exhibitor Hall<br />
where we have more than 600 vendors, booths,<br />
artists, authors, creators and more. We’ve<br />
got more than 1000 hours of Programming<br />
happening on the 1st and 2nd Levels of the<br />
North and West Buildings of the Phoenix<br />
Convention Center, plus Tabletop and Console<br />
Gaming at the Hyatt Regency. Up on the Third<br />
Floor we have our Hall of Heroes where you<br />
can meet our Celebrity Guests, get Photo Ops<br />
and Autographs, and see all of our Costuming<br />
Groups. Outside on Adams Street, we’ll be<br />
throwing a party filled with live music, drinks<br />
and food trucks!<br />
for donations to various charities. Most, if not<br />
all, of our anime voice actors and Film and TV<br />
actors have a fee for purchasing autographs<br />
or will sell you a photograph, book or other<br />
item and then autograph that item for no<br />
additional charge. Prices are generally clearly<br />
posted at the guests table, but it doesn’t hurt<br />
to ask.<br />
• Panels and Programming! As Phoenix<br />
Comicon grows, more people want to attend<br />
programming and spotlight panels and there<br />
are some updates to be aware of.<br />
• Seats cannot be saved.<br />
• We do not clear the rooms between panels.<br />
• No video can be taken in Spotlight<br />
Ballroom 301<br />
6<br />
• Photo Ops! Head to the Third Floor Hall<br />
of Heroes to buy professional photo<br />
opportunities with your favorite guests. Up<br />
to 4 people can be in a single photo taken by<br />
a professional photographer with a formal<br />
background, printed on an 8”x10” glossy print<br />
that includes the Phoenix Comicon logo.<br />
• Autographs! You can also get autographs<br />
from guests up in the Hall of Heroes on the<br />
Third Floor. Plan ahead to be at signing times<br />
to get your favorite guest signatures. Bring<br />
an item to be signed or buy a photo onsite.<br />
Most comic book creators and authors do not<br />
charge for autographs, though some do ask<br />
June 2-5, 2016 • Phoenixcomicon.com • Phoenix Convention Center<br />
Special Events! There are a few special events<br />
where we need to charge a small fee in order<br />
to offset the expenses of producing the event.<br />
We’ll also be having some special fund raisers<br />
for Kids Need to Read and will be charging<br />
admission, but the proceeds will go to support<br />
the charity. Any event that requires a special<br />
admission or ticket will be advertised as such<br />
on our website and in the program guide.<br />
Be Aware of Traffic! No sitting or camping out<br />
in hallways. Please keep pathways clear so all<br />
attendees can move around freely. No stopping<br />
or gathering on the Third Floor Skybridge<br />
between the North and West Buildings.
Thank You Phoenix Comicon 2016 Sponsors<br />

PHOENIX COMICON CONVENTION POLICIES<br />
8<br />
Our policies are to ensure the<br />
safety and enjoyment of all<br />
of our attendees, guests,<br />
volunteers, and exhibitors while working<br />
in conjunction with federal, state, and<br />
local laws along with the policies of the<br />
Phoenix Convention Center and host<br />
hotels.<br />
Phoenix Comicon reserves the<br />
right to revoke the membership badge<br />
of anyone found in violation of these<br />
policies. Any violation which involves<br />
activities prohibited by law will result<br />
in notification to the proper authorities.<br />
MEMBERSHIP FEES/BADGES<br />
• Membership fees are non-refundable.<br />
• Badges must be worn and visible at<br />
all times. Individuals without badges<br />
will not be allowed in convention space.<br />
• Acceptance of a Phoenix Comicon<br />
membership badge and admission<br />
to the convention constitutes an<br />
agreement to allow Phoenix Comicon,<br />
its agents, or assignees to use your<br />
image and/or likeness for advertising or<br />
promotion by the Phoenix Comicon and<br />
by any media now known or hereafter<br />
devised.<br />
• It is unlawful to duplicate Phoenix<br />
Comicon membership badges.<br />
• Each badge admits one person to<br />
Phoenix Comicon.<br />
• Badges are non-transferable and<br />
non-replaceable.<br />
ANIMALS<br />
Service and assistance animals are<br />

times. No other animals will be permitted<br />
in convention space.<br />
FIREARMS<br />
As a licensed liquor establishment, the<br />
Phoenix Convention Center is governed<br />
by Arizona law which prohibits the<br />
possession of firearms at the Phoenix<br />
Convention Center and host hotels by<br />
any person other than a law enforcement<br />
officer. Personal possession of firearms<br />
is therefore prohibited, including<br />
concealed and non-concealed firearms<br />
and weapons.<br />
PROPS/WEAPONS<br />
PEACE BONDING PROCEDURE<br />
All costume weapons that the Phoenix<br />
Convention Center (PCC) Security and<br />
Phoenix Police Officers determine to<br />
appear dangerous, on a case-by-case<br />
basis, shall be peace bonded before<br />
being allowed into the convention<br />
center. Peace bonding tables will be<br />
located on street level at designated<br />
main entrances to the PCC. Security<br />
and off-duty Phoenix Police Officers will<br />
conduct the peace bonding process:<br />
• Peace bonded costume weapons will<br />
be recognizable by a bright neon tag<br />
attached to a non-intrusive area of the<br />
prop weapon. The tag must remain<br />
visible at all times.<br />
• If the weapon is steel, such as a<br />
sword, the peace bond process will<br />
secure the sword inside the sheath. At<br />
no time shall the sword be removed<br />
from the sheath while attending the<br />
event.<br />
• If a costume weapon is confiscated<br />
it will be tagged with the owners name<br />
written on the tag. Confiscated weapons<br />
will only be returned to the owner when<br />
they are departing the event. The PCC<br />
is not responsible for any damage to<br />
confiscated weapons.<br />

PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
When taking pictures, please be conscious<br />
of traffic around you and do not<br />
block walkways for extended periods.<br />
Please be considerate and ask before<br />
taking pictures of other attendees,<br />
guests, or staff.<br />
COSTUMES<br />
• Above all, Phoenix Comicon is a<br />
family-friendly event. Please exercise<br />
modesty when wearing your costume.<br />
If Phoenix Comicon staff feels your<br />
costume is too revealing or offensive<br />
to other attendees, you may be asked<br />
to change. If you have questions<br />
about what is acceptable, please<br />
contact costuming@phoenixcomicon.<br />
com or visit any Phoenix Comicon<br />
Information Desk.<br />
• Costumes must cover at least<br />
as much as a swimsuit acceptable<br />
for public pools and beaches. That<br />
coverage also applies to chest<br />
enhancing padding. No under- or<br />
side-cupping. Females must cover<br />
the nipple, sides of the breast and<br />
complete buttocks. Males must cover<br />
the entire groin area and the complete<br />
buttocks.<br />
• Remember appropriate undergarments.<br />
No see-through clothing, or<br />
anything tight enough to reveal your<br />
“nooks and crannies.” Clothing must<br />
not be so tight as to reveal the genitalia<br />
of the person and must not be<br />
sheer enough to expose areas which<br />
must be covered.<br />
• Body paint and nudity are NOT<br />
costumes, and are prohibited from<br />
convention premises. Phoenix has<br />
nudity laws, and police will be around.<br />
• Be aware of your surroundings.<br />
Your costume must permit a clear<br />
line of sight. If your costume has<br />
extensions (like wings and spikes),<br />
avoid bumping into things or people.<br />
If your costume has pieces that<br />
extend from it (wings, spikes, armor,<br />
etc.) or you are carrying a large prop,<br />
please be aware of your surroundings<br />
and of people around you. You may<br />
be asked to change your costume or<br />
remove your prop from convention<br />
space if it is found to be disruptive or<br />
dangerous.<br />
• Roller Skates/Blades may not be<br />
worn inside the Phoenix Convention<br />
Center or Host Hotels.<br />
• Protective footwear, with a hard<br />
sole, is required.<br />
• Military and law enforcement<br />
cosplay must not be realistic enough<br />
to pass for the real thing.<br />
• Please do not block doorways,<br />
walkways, or exits with your costume,<br />
props, or costume pieces.<br />
• Depictions of swastikas are not<br />
allowed and will be asked to be<br />
removed.<br />
• Religious cosplay must not be<br />
inflammatory or disrespectful.<br />
• Metal weapons are permitted if<br />
sheathed, but not projectile weapons<br />
or flail weapons even if holstered or<br />
tied. Bullwhips are permitted only if<br />
they are tied up.<br />
• Phoenix Comicon staff has<br />
final say whether your costume is<br />
inappropriate, and will ask you to<br />
leave the convention area until you<br />
comply with the costume policy.<br />
HARASSMENT<br />
AND DISCRIMINATION<br />
Phoenix Comicon is firmly committed<br />
to providing a positive experience free<br />
of discrimination, harassment and bias.<br />
Each attendee is personally responsible<br />
for maintaining such an environment.<br />
Phoenix Comicon prohibits any actions,<br />
words, jokes, or comments based on<br />
an individual’s race, sex, sexual preferences,<br />
ethnic background, age, religion,<br />
physical condition, or other legally protected<br />
characteristic. Any conduct or<br />
action, whether overt or subtle, which<br />
creates an offensive or hostile environment<br />
is prohibited and will be grounds<br />
for immediate action up to and including<br />
police involvement.<br />
Phoenix Comicon prohibits any<br />
harassment between volunteers,<br />
attendees, exhibitors or guests on the<br />
basis of sex. No person, male or female,<br />
should be subjected to unsolicited<br />
or unwelcome sexual overtones and<br />
conduct, either verbal or physical.<br />
Misconduct applies to both males and<br />
females, and includes harassment<br />
between individuals regardless of sex.<br />
Any person who believes he or she is<br />
a victim of sexual or discriminatory<br />
harassment is encouraged to let the<br />
harasser know that his or her behavior<br />
is unwelcome. Those who believe<br />
they have been harassed should<br />
immediately report the matter to<br />
Facility Security Personnel, Local Police<br />
or Phoenix Comicon Staff.<br />
COSPLAY IS NOT CONSENT<br />
Phoenix Comicon supports the movement<br />
“Cosplay is not Consent” to empower<br />
fan convention costume enthusiasts<br />
(aka “cosplayers”) to SPEAK OUT<br />
against inappropriate social behavior of<br />
a sexual and/or stereotypical nature for<br />
themselves and fellow fans. Cosplay is<br />
NOT consent!<br />
The culture of Cosplay is one of<br />
fun, creativity, and mutual respect.<br />
Unfortunately, not every fan adheres<br />
to the “respect” part. Cosplay is NOT<br />
Consent - and cosplayers who dress<br />
in (sometimes) revealing costumes<br />
should not accept inappropriate<br />
behavior from their peers. Speak<br />
out; speak up; and help keep cosplay<br />
comfortable and fun!<br />
You should make every attempt to<br />
gain direct consent on all photographs<br />
of cosplay, including all private<br />
photographers. All photographers,<br />
commercial and private, should refrain<br />
from taking secret photos or photos of<br />
cosplayers in compromised positions<br />
and should not take photos with the<br />
intent of commercialization without<br />
consent of the subject. Cosplayers love<br />
to have their photos taken, so just be<br />
polite and ask!<br />
