Greetings Virtual Penguicon! We're excited you've joined us. We have a few items to share with you on this page, so read further for more information on our Code of Conduct, as well as little more about Penguicon itself!
Our Code of Conduct not only applies to physical spaces where the Penguicon Community inhabits, it also applies to our cyber spaces too. Visit our Code of Conduct Here!How to Penguicon: A Primer Welcome! We’re SO GLAD you’re here. Seriously. And we’d like to introduce ourselves. We are Penguicon. We are not a comic con, a gaming convention, a Tech convention, or a sci-fi/fantasy convention. And yet, we are also all of these things! We are a collection of people who are geeks about everything that you can possibly be a geek about. If you really enjoy something, you’ll find others here who love it too. We are also 100% volunteer-run, and a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Here are some things you should know about us!
ANTI-HARASSMENT AND CONSENT Let’s get this out here right off, as it is VERY important to us.
- Penguicon is committed to fostering an environment of comfort and safety for everyone. Attendees should refrain from actions that would limit, or threaten to limit, the safe enjoyment of the convention by another person.
- We will not tolerate any form of harassment of convention participants, specifically in the form of gender, sexuality, relationship status, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, national origin, or religious discrimination.
- Con participants found to be engaging in harassment may be expelled from the con without refund.
- If you are being harassed or witness harassment, and you need help, go to the Operations desk or find a ConCom, Board, or staff member to assist you.
- Please read our full Code of Conduct in the Souvenir Book for more information.
- ASK FIRST! If the answer is not a clear, distinct “YES” (verbal or otherwise), then do NOT touch, photograph, hug, grab, take video of, etc. This applies to everyone, including cosplayers.
The Permanent Minimum Rules- You must be 21 or over and legal to drink in the state of Michigan to be served alcohol. We will be checking ID.
- To use the hospitality areas you must comply with Michigan state drinking laws.
- Any weapons or potentially dangerous items should be handled with care.
- Smoking is only permitted in designated areas.
- The convention might include discussions or demonstrations of an adult nature; these may be inappropriate for children. Parents are responsible for their children; the convention is not.
- Be respectful of others. If someone asks you to leave them alone, do so. Seriously.
- The Convention retains the right to remove anybody from the Convention at any time, with or without refund.
- Have fun, but comply with hotel rules and the law.
If at any time you need assistance, our Virtual Ops Desk is open during programming hours.
