Convention Policy

Safety & Harassment Policy

BotCon has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind, both in person and online. While we understand that nearly all attendees at the show will be there to participate in the best of what the TF and Robot fandoms have to offer, it is also important to understand that as with ANY social event, a select few people may engage in behavior that is unacceptable. If you are being harassed or are in any way endangered, this needs to be reported immediately. Please find the nearest BotCon staff member or volunteer to report any unwanted comments, physical contact, or any other activity that makes you feel that your well-being is at risk. BotCon staff and volunteers will be easily identifiable with their BotCon branded staff shirts.

If, at any time, you feel that your personal safety or the safety of others is in immediate jeopardy, please contact the Chicago Police Department via 911. The Chicago Police Department non-emergency phone number is (312) 746-6000.
