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

permitted in hallways or walkways. If
you would like to dance, please do so
outside in an open area that does not
disrupt convention activity.
SIGNS
The posting of signs is prohibited in all

and display of signs by attendees is not
allowed. This includes but is not limited
to such signs as “Free Hugs,” “Will
Yuri for Yaoi,” or “Glomps for Cash.”
Attendees carrying such signage will be

Phoenix Comicon staff reserves the

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