As always, our main priority is the safety and security of our guests. We’ve established the following measures to ensure that VidCon Mexico is a safe and fun place for everyone who attends. Please make sure you’ve read VidCon Mexico’s Rules & Regulations before arriving.
We have a security team in all areas of the event, including inside the Centro CitiBanamex, as well as behind the scenes and at the entry and exit points of the Convention Center.
CREDENTIALS
All VidCon Mexico attendees are required to wear their credentials at all times. This is to verify that everyone attending — or within a particular access-controlled area — is authorized to be there. You will not be permitted into any VidCon Mexico event space without your credentials. Security is stationed throughout all indoor and outdoor areas of the event at Centro Citibanamex. Please be prepared to show your credentials at all entrances and special access points or if requested by a VidCon Mexico security member.
METAL DETECTORS & BAG SEARCHES
Each VidCon Mexico entrance will include metal detectors and bag searches. In order to provide a smooth and safe experience while entering the event, please review our restricted items and bag types below and leave these items at home! If you arrive with a restricted item, you will be asked to return the item to your vehicle, hotel room, or home OR to dispose of it. VidCon Mexico will NOT have a place to store your restricted items and staff will not hold them for you. Accommodations will be available for those with disabilities and exceptions will be made for medical conditions. Please see a VidCon Mexico staff member if this applies to you.
