Kaboom-Con! Policies
CODE OF CONDUCT
All attendees must comply with commonsense rules for public behavior, common courtesy, personal interaction, and respect for private property. Harassing and offensive behavior will not be tolerated. Kaboom-Con! reserves the right to ban any attendee, without refund, who is not in compliance with this policy.

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.

NO RETAIL SALES
Unless exhibit space has been purchased, retail sales are strictly limited to the vendors in (and out) the Carson City Community Center. In addition, there is no solicitation of tips, fees, or donations for any reason, unless you have a booth, table, or official space allocated by Kaboom-Con.
PROHIBITED ITEMS
Alcohol or alcoholic beverages are not allowed inside the Carson City Community Center. Please leave your drones, helium balloons, helium-filled products, fireworks, handcarts, trolleys, rolling luggage, and pets (excluding service animals) at home. Absolutely no functioning props or weapons are allowed. Only active on-duty police officers may carry firearms within the Community Center. All other persons are strictly prohibited regardless of license or status.
NO SMOKING
Smoking is not allowed at any Kaboom-Con event at any time. No smoking at the convention includes traditional cigarettes, cigars, pipes, E-cigarettes, or any vaping product or device. This policy includes all event spaces at the Carson City Community Center and other Kaboom-Con venues. You are welcome to step outside the Community Center to smoke in designated smoking areas only, but please be considerate of others when you do. This policy is in place not only for the comfort of attendees but also to comply with San Diego city ordinances prohibiting smoking at public events near any doorway, entrance, exit, or operable window. Please comply with this policy; noncompliance may result in ejection from the convention.
Kaboom-Con reserves the right to change or modify any policy or rule at any time and without notice.
