Be Nice
Be kind and courteous to your fellow attendees. Respect the guests, dealers, and staff. Just be good to everyone!
Promote a safe and healthy environment
Treat the Greater Columbus Convention Center and the Hyatt Hotel facilities with the utmost respect. Anyone who vandalizes/damages these properties will be responsible for repairs and replacements.
Absolutely no real weapons are permitted in the event space.
Props are fine, actual things that could hurt people? Not so much.
Take care of yourself
Get at least six hours of sleep a day, drink plenty of water, and remember to eat!
Keep it moving
When in hallways and walkways stay to the side and keep moving. Do not block exists, staircases, or doorways.
Respect the law (DUH)
Don’t do illegal stuff! Smoking and drugs are prohibited in the convention center and hotel. Any behavior that breaks state or federal law will not be tolerated.
Have your Badge Visible
Please make sure your badge is easily accessible at all times. Do not share your badge with anyone else.
Line exemptions
people/persons with disabilities or special considerations may skip the lines. See Ohayocon Accessibility Services to make this process even easier on yourself.
No horse play
Please, no running or roughhousing in the hallways.
No dragging articles of clothing
Leashes, trains, long wigs that drag along the floor are all discouraged. It’s easy enough to get hurt in a crowded hallway as it is.
Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in your removal from the event. We hope you have an amazing and safe Ohayocon!
