If a person engages in harassing behavior, ACCC Staff will take prompt action in any form they deem appropriate, including expulsion from ACCC with no refund. Our policy applies to EVERYONE at the convention. Exhibitors, fans (attendees), speakers, guests, professionals, press, staff, crew, and security are all subject to our Anti-Harassment Policy.

​

Anyone can report harassment. If someone’s behavior has made you uncomfortable, or if you witness the same happening to someone else, you should immediately contact ACCC Staff, Security Team, or a Crew member. You may also come to ACCC's HQ.

​

If necessary, we will contact local law enforcement, provide escort, offer a safe place or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to make sure they feel safe for the rest of ACCC

​

Keep your hands to yourself. If you would like to take a picture with or of another ACCC fan, always ask first and respect that person's right to say no. When at ACCC, be respectful, be nice, be cool and be kind to each other.

​

ACCC’s mission is to create a fun, safe, welcoming, awesome event where fans of all kinds can come together and celebrate. We want you to not only have the most amazing weekend ever, but to experience it in an environment where you are safe and accepted. As fans ourselves, we understand the importance of creating a safe space for everyone who attends ACCC.
