On behalf of Cultural Tourism and the Northeastern Center for Tribal studies, we are very excited to be able to gather in person once again. For all that to happen, SkasdiCon has a few policies we must all follow that are necessary for the safety and comfort of everyone. We appreciate your cooperation in helping to make SkasdiCon a place that everyone can enjoy.

Airspace (Balloons, Drones, etc.)
No devices may be flown or tethered within the confines of the Ballroom or at any SkasdiCon function on the NSU property. This includes drones, helium balloons and helium-filled products, or any lighter-than-air objects either powered or unpowered.

Code of Conduct
Attendees must respect and observe commonsense rules for public behavior, personal interaction, common courtesy, and respect for one another and private property. Harassing or offensive behavior will not be tolerated. SkasdiCon reserves the right to revoke any individual’s access to the event. Persons finding themselves in a situation where they feel their safety is at risk or who become aware of an attendee not in compliance with this policy should immediately locate the nearest member of security or staff member so that the matter can be handled in an expeditious manner.

The SkasdiCon Information Desk is located in the Second floor Lobby.
During show hours you can always find a SkasdiCon staff member or security guard at the Information Desks. Please stop by there if you have any questions or concerns.

No Pets Allowed
If you have pets, including iguanas, parrots, boa constrictors, or other nonhuman critters, please leave them at home. NSU will not allow animals into the building except for service animals.

Costume Props Policy

No functional props or weapons are allowed at SkasdiCon. Simulated or costume weapons are allowed as a part of your costume, subject to prior approval by security and compliance with the following:

All costume props and weapons must be inspected at the Cosplay Registration Desk located in the 1st floor lobby.

• All costume props and weapons must conform to state and federal law.
• Projectile costume props and weapons must be rendered inoperable.
• Functional (real) arrows must have their tips removed and be bundled and zip-tied to a quiver.
• Costume swords must be tied to your costume in such a way that they can’t be drawn.
• Costumes featuring stilts must be approved at the Registration desk.
• All Props will be checked at Cosplay Registration Desk located in the second-floor lobby.

At certain times, due to crowds and safety issues, people in oversized costumes may be asked to leave the Ballroom.

After your costume props have been checked, they will be tagged by security, and you will be given a wristband to wear to designate that your props have been checked.

Security will escort you to the Registration Desk for inspection if your costume prop is not tagged.

If you do not want to have your costume props/weapons inspected or tagged, or if you are not willing to comply with these policies, please do not bring your costume props/weapons to SkasdiCon.

No Handouts
No distribution of any materials—including flyers, stickers, cards, or any promotional item—is allowed in any area inside or outside the NSU Ballroom, except from within a booth in the Ballroom or when preapproved for placement on the Freebie Tables.

No Bicycles, Scooters, Segways, or Hoverboards at SkasdiCon
Scooters, bicycles, and Segways are not allowed in the NSU Ballroom or inside the building. By order of the fire marshal, hoverboards are not allowed at SkasdiCon, including all inside or outside areas of the NSU Ballroom, and additional venues featuring SkasdiCon events.

No Handcarts, Trolleys, Rolling Luggage, or Oversized Strollers in the Ball Room
Please be aware that, for safety reasons, no handcarts, trolleys, rolling luggage, or oversized strollers are allowed in the Ballroom. Attendees found on the exhibit floor with these items will be asked to leave these items outside of the Ballroom.
