We at MomoCon want you to have the best time possible at the convention, but to do that you, as an attendee, should be aware of some of our policies.
Prop & Weapons Policy
List of things that are banned at MomoCon
Photography
By entering MomoCon, all attendees agree to have their photos taken by MomoCon staff for promotional purposes. MomoCon agrees not to use the photos in any other manner besides promotion and not to sell the photos to any third party.
Photography is allowed and encouraged at the convention! However, if someone does not wish their picture to be taken, refrain from photographing them. No photography is allowed in the Dealers Room, period, due to crowding issues. Also, if you need to take a picture, be quick about it and do not block hallways or entrances. There will be an opportunities all weekend for anyone to have their picture taken by our convention photographer(s), so don’t worry about catching everyone’s picture!
Please refrain from using photographic devices in any showing room or main movie presentation. You are welcome to take many pictures during events such as the costume contest and opening ceremonies!
Children
At MomoCon, we pride ourselves on being a very family-friendly convention. We encourage all guests to bring their kids or young friends without having to worry about adult programming or material in the Dealers’ Room.
However, the convention space will become very crowded and it is recommended that an adult accompany all minors at all times. There is no convention-wide public announcement system, so please keep an eye on children! If you should have a problem with a lost child, please go to Con Ops (room TBA) and the staff will help in any way they can.
Behavior
We know that a convention is about having a good time, but for our attendees safety, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated, such as fighting/sparring (fake or real), heckling, impeding traffic flow, offensive behavior, failure to observe basic hygiene, public inebriation (or similar intoxication), or any other failure to follow the rules.
MomoCon can and will take action against any type of disruptive behavior, even beyond the behaviors mentioned. Attendees that cause these types of problems may be warned, asked to leave, or even face inquiries from the police (depending on severity).
Attendees of MomoCon attend at their own risk. MomoCon takes no responsibility for any damages incurred to property or person of guests, artists, dealers, or attendees. Smoking is not permitted inside any buildings. Offensive or revealing attire is not permitted. No costume is no costume.
MomoCon takes no responsibility for lost items. If you lose a bag or personal effect, please send us an email and we will comb through the lost and found for you.
MomoCon prohibits signs or other materials that are not part of a specific costume. This includes (but is not limited to) “Hugs for a quarter”, “Free glomps”, and “Spank a catboy for $1”. MomoCon reserves the right to confiscate and destroy any and all signs (at the discretion of MomoCon).
MomoCon is a family-friendly event, and as such prohibits extremely revealing costumes and attire. A good rule of thumb is bikini top + shorts for women and shorts and shirt for men. If men are cosplaying a shirtless character, we ask that they only remove their shirts for photos.
Due to saftey issues, roller skates, bare feet and stilts are prohibited in convention and Hilton hotel areas. Blocking doorways or heavy traffic areas for any reason not limited to photography, dancing, standing with an expansive costume in a crowded area and other obstructions is strictly prohibited.
Advertising/Sales
NO SALES are permitted on the premises outside of the Dealers’ Room, Artists Alley, and specified areas. In these areas, only paid vendors or artists who have a copy of their respective contracts on file with MomoCon will be allowed to sell wares/art.
Anyone found posting, pasting, taping, or pinning material on convention property that is not an artist or vendor will be immediately removed from the convention grounds. Artists and Vendors are to adhere to the policies for their respective rooms. There will be a table on convention grounds for leaving flyers and other advertisements, but advertisements MAY NOT be placed anywhere else. Rest assured that ANYONE found placing stickers on property will IMMEDIATELY be escorted off the premises.
MomoCon reserves the right to eject anyone from convention grounds at any time.
