VIDCON ANAHEIM
CODE OF CONDUCT
Revised: October 17, 2023
It is vital to us that VidCon is a safe place for all attendees. VidCon is a private event and people who mistreat or disrespect other people may be removed and not allowed to return for the duration of the event. In addition, VidCon reserves the right to permanently ban attendees and guests who do not comply with the Code of Conduct, including for future events hosted by VidCon.
Please use good judgment and be respectful. Also, please keep in mind that we are sharing the convention center campus and hotels with others, and it is our duty to be friendly neighbors.
By registering to be in attendance at VidCon, you hereby agree to the following:
ACCESS
VidCon badges and RFID wristbands are required for attendance to all official VidCon events. Badges must be worn around the neck and visible at all times. Badges and RFID wristbands are non-transferable.
We do not clear rooms between events. All activities have limited capacity as set by the Fire Marshal, so even though your badge and wristband are required to access all activities, they do not guarantee you access to any activity if it has reached its capacity.
All meet & greets are of a limited nature and your VidCon badge and wristband do not guarantee autographs or photos in the Meet & Greet Hall.
FEATURED CREATORS
The Featured Creators who participate in VidCon are excited to see attendees, but please be respectful. They need to be safe and we want to ensure all attendees are safe while moving around the event, so do not run at or crowd around Featured Creators in public walkways, near escalators, or around doorways.
Featured Creators also need to take breaks during the event, so attempting to follow them to their hotel, into shuttles, or to backstage areas or any other similar behavior is prohibited.
Purchasing a VidCon ticket does not guarantee that you will meet a particular Featured Creator.
HARASSMENT
Disorderly conduct may include, but isn’t limited to, any behavior that is illegal, unsafe, disruptive, discriminatory or causes discomfort to our attendees or guests. If someone doesn’t want to talk to you, don’t keep talking to them. If you do not have permission to touch someone, do not touch them. Please view our VidCon Anaheim Anti-Harassment Policy for more information.
Pranks that are emotionally, mentally, or physically harmful to any people or property at VidCon, actually or potentially, are prohibited. If we hear about anyone pranking in ways that are disruptive to the well-being of our guests, attendees or staff, responsive action may be taken, , including but not limited to, being banned from future events hosted by VidCon.
LISTEN TO STAFF
All VidCon attendees and badge purchasers must adhere to the instructions of all VidCon employees and agents, all security employees and agents, the staff of Anaheim Convention Center, and any and all law enforcement personnel.
PROHIBITIONS
Alcohol, drugs, illegal substances, weapons, and items that can be mistaken as weapons are expressly prohibited, even if they are part of a costume. Masks or other headpieces that cover the entire face are not allowed. Large backpacks are not allowed, and other similar bags or containers are subject to search and may be prohibited. Unlawful sale or attempted sale of badges and RFID wristbands will result in the revocation of those credentials without refund.
IMAGE RELEASE
VidCon is an event produced by, for, and about digital content enthusiasts. As such, VidCon may be recorded or reproduced by VidCon, its designees, and/or attending participants. By registering to be in attendance at VidCon, you hereby authorize VidCon, its designees, and/or attending participants to record, transcribe, modify, reproduce, perform, display, transmit and distribute in any and all media, in any form, and for any purpose any such recordings of VidCon, and acknowledge and agree you will not be entitled to any revenue and/or proceeds derived from such use and/or distribution. By registering for VidCon you hereby release VidCon, its designees, its employees, its agents, and/or its attending participants from any and all claims or causes of action you or your agents may possess, now or in the future, in connection with such activities.
MINORS
VidCon is an all-ages event. An attendee’s age may affect whether they need a ticket and if they are permitted to attend on their own:
Minors 5 and under do not need a ticket but must be accompanied by an adult (18+) who has purchased a ticket to attend VidCon. Minors between the ages of 6 and 15 must have a VidCon ticket and must be accompanied by a ticketed adult (18+) at all times.
Minors 16 or older are not required to be accompanied by a chaperone if it’s OK with their parent/guardian. If a parent/guardian would like to accompany their child in any capacity, they need a ticket to attend VidCon.
Parents or adult supervisors of minors are responsible for the actions of minors they are supervising. Minors may be prohibited from certain areas due to the sale of alcohol at certain locations.
LIABILITY
You assume any and all risks occurring before, during, or after VidCon. You release VidCon, Paramount Global, and the Anaheim Convention Center and their agents, licensees, assignees, employees, and their respective affiliates and representatives from any and all claims or causes of action arising from or related to VidCon events.
