Proto ATL's main goal is to create a professional yet inspirational design environment where professionals in the industry can discuss, play, and network to advance game design. In order for us to have a great convention, it’s important to put a few rules in writing so that we all feel respected, safe, and on the same page.
No Harassment Policy
We take violence and harassment of attendees very seriously. We will not tolerate unacceptable behavior, which includes but is not limited to:
Engaging in any of these acts puts you at risk for immediate removal from the convention, and permanent ban from Proto ATL events in the future. If at any time a Staff Member determines your behavior to be inappropriate, you may be asked to leave the convention.
If you feel threatened at the convention, or witness a situation that you think may be a problem, it is your responsibility to immediately report it to a staff member. We want to help you, so please make us aware of anything that happens that concerns you.
Convention Rules
We want to help you have a great time with as few restrictions as possible, but there are a few basic rules that must be followed:
Your badge must be visible at all times when in convention space. You will not be allowed to participate in any convention events without having a badge and you may be asked to leave the convention if you don’t have a badge on.
We do not offer refunds on badges. We understand that sometimes plans change. If you email MoniRasso@yahoo.com before midnight on March 6, 2025, we can transfer your badge to someone else’s name. A financial exchange is your responsibility to transact.
Flyers or promotional items must be reviewed and approved before being distributed. We reserve the right to prohibit material at our discretion. If we haven’t approved it in advance, our crew will likely remove the materials and you may be asked to leave.
We’ll have staff members around keeping an eye on things, and locking the doors at night, but when it comes down to it your personal security and the safety of your property is your responsibility. We are not responsible or liable for any loss of items or property or the physical safety of attendees, volunteers, vendors, or guests. However, we do maintain a “Lost & Found” area at the Registration Desk and will do our best to help reunite you with any lost property if at all possible.
Police will be notified of anyone found stealing or harming another person.
During Proto ATL you may find yourself at some time or other in front of a camera. Proto ATL reserves the right to use the likeness of any volunteers, attendees, guests, or vendors in video or still images or audio recording for promotional purposes. By registering or volunteering, you are consenting to our use of your likeness for such promotional purposes.
Outside food and drink and alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the convention space. You can purchase concessions tickets online before or during the convention, attend events with food, and use the hotel restaurant. Regardless of what you eat/drink, please do so responsibly – clean up your trash.
Finally, remember that Proto ATL reserves the right to revoke convention badges and have any person(s) removed from the convention/hotel should the need arise.
And now for the really fine print...
All Proto ATL Attendees shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Gold Seal Games, and Tabletop Enterprises, LLC, its affiliated corporations, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, and employees from and against any and all costs and expenses, damages, claims, suits, actions, liabilities, losses, and judgments including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, based on, arising out of, or in any way related or connected with the Convention or any other matter or activity directly or indirectly related to the Convention, including but not limited to libel, slander, disparagement, defamation, copyright infringement, invasion of privacy, piracy, plagiarism, or infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party. This obligation shall continue beyond the length of the convention.
