Ancient City Con staff has the ability to contact security or local law enforcement, and can provide police or security escort, or otherwise assist those feeling they have experienced harassment to ensure they feel safe for the duration of the convention.

Just because your fellow con-goer is in a costume doesn't mean that they want to be touched, harassed, cat-called or even photographed. Always keep your hands to yourself. If you would like to take a picture of or with another fan, please ask first and respect that individual's answer and respect their level of comfort with the photograph.
Weapons Policy
Weapons are allowed at Ancient City Con however they will need to be inspected and approved by convention staff upon arrival. Costume props that do not pass security inspection must be returned to your vehicle or hotel room immediately. If your weapon is found without a proper security tag, Security will escort you to the Weapons Check area for inspection. Once your weapon(s) have been inspected, do not remove the tag for any reason.
