No projectile weapons allowed! This means any object that shoots, tosses, throws, flings, propels, or ejects any other object. This includes, but is not limited to water pistols, nerf guns, shuriken, and web shooters. Pun throwers are reluctantly accepted.
All weapons of individual or mass destruction must be peace bonded. This includes toy weapons, batarangs, bat’leths, energy weapons, nuclear missiles, and sharp pointy things you might buy in the dealer’s room. For a weapon to be peace bonded, it needs to be tied or fastened securely so that it cannot be brandished or accidentally swung at anyone.
Badges must be worn by all in order to enter the convention space and attend programming. If you are not wearing a badge, you will not be allowed in the Con Suite or programming spaces.
Federal and State laws must be followed. The legal drinking age in Iowa is twenty-one; this also pertains to room parties. An adult badge does not guarantee that the wearer is of legal drinking age, so check IDs before serving anyone alcohol. Security will take badges of those who cannot control their liquor consumption. Security will return confiscated badges when the member is sober. Additionally, all drug laws are enforced, and possession or use them will be cause for summary dismissal from the convention.
Show respect for your fellow Con-goers, their property, and the hotel. Physical conflicts, stealing, and vandalism will not be tolerated.
Harassment of any kind, including on the basis of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, country, or political affiliation, is not permitted. Please read the harassment policy.
Convention staff reserve the right to tell you to stop what you are doing. If you persist, you may be asked to leave the convention.
The term “staff” includes security personnel and department heads. You needn’t bother appealing to contest a reasonable request by the staff.
All children 12-years-old or under must be supervised by an adult when in the convention area. Parents and guardians are responsible for the behavior of their children.
The hotel is smoke-free, except in outside designated smoking areas. This rule applies even to Gandalf.
ALL ICON ATTENDEES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR READING AND FOLLOWING THESE RULES: IGNORANCE OF THE RULES IS NO EXCUSE.
