About

We are Lincoln NE's Science Fiction, Fantasy, Anime, and Gaming convention.

We are a fan based convention started in 2010.  

As a convention we strive to create a welcoming environment for all, with the idea that con is family.  During our events we want to provide opportunities to learn, grow, share ideas, experiences, and knowledge.

We have put together these documents over the years to help us create and maintain a safe and welcoming environment:

Rules

1. No harassing other guests of the hotel. For that matter, don’t harass anybody!

2. No running, yelling, or shoving in public areas.

3. The legal drinking age in Nebraska is 21. Please observe this law for yourself and for your guests.

4. ConStellation reserves the right to revoke your con badge and eject you from the convention for any reason.

5. ConStellation does not provide childcare services. If you have brought children with you, you are responsible for them.

6. If you wouldn’t want to be caught doing whatever it is you are doing, stop doing it. Even better -- don’t start.

7. Please report lost badges. If you have ID, Registration may issue you a replacement badge. Please wear your badge at all times (in a visible location, please).

8. Please do not take food out of the ConSuite or room parties. These rooms have permission from the hotel for outside food, the rest of the convention does not.

Harassment Policy

We will not condone harassment of attendees, convention staff, convention guests, vendors, presenters, or exhibitors, in words or actions.

Harassment includes, but is not limited, to:

• Unwanted physical contact

If you feel that you have been harassed, please go to any ConStellation staff member who will escort you to one of our Security team. Every claim of harassment will be treated seriously, investigated and appropriate follow up actions taken. (See Security Policy)

This policy applies to everyone in the convention spaces including all attendees, convention staff, convention guests, vendors, presenters, and exhibitors. If you feel one or more of the hotel guests (not with the convention) are harassing others, please let Con Staff know. If you see something that creeps you our, feel free to report it. Our primary concern is that people feel safe and are safe.

We are all here to have a good time and should be able to feel safe and enjoy the convention.

 

Play nice! It helps everyone have fun.
