This info we be added at a later date.

Badges:

Animatic Con Artist Badges will be available for pickup at the Convention operations department. Badges must be worn at all times while conducting sales. We will try and limit only those with artist badges and select staff will have access to the Artist’s Alley during Artist’s set up hours. After hours, while Artist Alley is closed we request that you do not access the tables for any reason. This is a security measure to help prevent theft or other problems since the area is not secured or patrolled. Any person found lurking around a table may be removed from the convention at our discretion. Should an emergency arise where you need to access your table, you must inform ConOps and wait until they get Security to okay your using the area.

Booth Space:

Animatic Con has taken the appropriate actions to map out each vendor space, with that in mind we ask that no artist attempt to expand a space that has been provided to them. If there are any questions in regards to your space we ask that you please speak to our Vendor/Artists head who you will meet at the show. We also ask that you please refrain from altering the setup of the tables in the hall in any way without permission from Animatic Con. The Hall is set up in a manner that must meet the fire code regulations set forth for the space. Please do not hang anything on the hotel room walls to prevent any possible damage that may occur.

Please refrain from using items such as scotch tape, masking tape, painters tape or thumbtacks to mount a device or item.

The Crown Plaza Hotel does offer internet to its guests who are staying in the hotel free of charge.

Artist acknowledges that sales of merchandise outside of the appointed area are in breach of this contract unless previous written arrangements have been made with Animatic Con.

All merchandise should be handmade. If you have question about if you qualify please e-mail [email protected]

All art should be of handmade quality and/or Fan made. Please note that if you are using a copywritten piece as fan art and it is brought to the attention of Animatic Con you will be asked to remove the piece from the show and/or vacate the booth.
