Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Feel free to contact us directly using one of the below email addresses, or by messaging our Facebook page: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DemiCon\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please remember, we are a volunteer run convention. Please excuse us if we are not able to respond to you immediately. If you think we might have missed your message or haven\u2019t responded timely, please contact concom@demicon.org<\/a> or info@dmsffs.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All weapons must use peace-bonding. No projectile weapons of any type may be carried or used. If you need an item peace-bonded or if you are uncertain your item would be considered a weapon or a prop, go to the Hub, and it will be determined there. Exceptions may be made for certain weapons that are part of the Masquerade & Cosplay competition, provided that arrangements have been made in advance with the Masquerade & Cosplay Department Head. Exceptions may be made for certain programming events, provided that the ConCom and Ranger staff are informed in advance and a notice is posted on all entrances to the room. Any violations of the weapons policy or refusal to cooperate with the requests of our staff regarding weapons matters may result in actions ranging from confiscation of weapons to being evicted from the convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The legal drinking age in Iowa is 21. We cannot and will not serve any alcoholic beverages to persons born after May 3, 2003. If you turn 21 during the convention, come see us at Registration so we can arrange a special badge for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Programming involving alcohol is intended for audiences of legal drinking age. Refusing to confirm your age will result in removal from that programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The barkeep in the ConSuite has the right to card anyone, even if I.D. has been previously presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Persons hosting room parties are responsible for ensuring that their guests are of legal age before serving them alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone serving alcohol has a right and legal responsibility to refuse service to anyone who may be imbibing irresponsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If DemiCon authorities determine that a member\u2019s (attendee\u2019s) level of intoxication poses a risk, the intoxicated member will no longer be served or allowed to possess alcohol in con areas, including open room parties or virtual activities, and may be temporarily banned from con areas. These constraints will be enforced by modifying the left side of the con badge for Friday restrictions, and modifying the right side of the con badge for Saturday restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Badges are required for all in-person convention functions for all DemiCon attendees. Any attendee not wearing a badge will be asked to produce it, or be escorted to Registration to obtain a badge, or leave the function space. DemiCon does allow the general public to walk through the Dealers\u2019 Room and Art Show for the purpose of browsing and making purchases. If you lose your badge, report it immediately to the Registration table. If you find someone\u2019s badge, please return it to the Registration table. Burden of proof of lost badges rests with the badge holder, not the convention staff. It\u2019s our decision whether we replace the badge with a charge or at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a paid adult when in convention areas. Parents\/guardians are responsible for controlling the behavior of their offspring\/wards. DemiCon is not a day care facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any problems, suggestions or complaints, please contact a DemiCon staff member or go to the Hub, not a hotel staff person (unless the problem is with your personal sleeping room). There is always a radio at the Art Show and ConSuite if you need assistance summoning a Ranger or member of ConCom. After the con, contact the DMSFFS board at info@dmsffs.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All areas of the hotel are designated as non-smoking. If you smoke outside, please stand away from the door and dispose of cigarette butts appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Please follow all pool rules and cooperate if you are asked to leave by our Ranger or by hotel staff. The pool is on the first floor and you need a sleeping room key to access the pool area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hotel and DemiCon rules prohibit the ConSuite\u2019s food and all alcoholic beverages from being taken from the fifth floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the convention, please be advised that unless you expressly prohibit DemiCon\u2019s official photographers\/videographers from capturing you on camera, you hereby waive all rights associated with their publication and grant the Des Moines Science Fiction & Fantasy Society, Inc., all publication rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photos are intended for use only as promotional materials to appear in print, television, DemiCon Channel, Internet advertising, the newsletter, social media, and similar, including video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DemiCon members (attendees) should give the courtesy of asking the subject\u2019s permission before taking a photograph of that person or posting images on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The deadline to submit a request to transfer your DemiCon 35 membership to next year\u2019s convention is April 15, 2024, if you cannot attend. This is a straight transfer. There are no pricing adjustments. You must contact registration@demicon.org<\/a> to make your request. The Registration Department will notify you by e-mail to let you know whether or not your request for transfer has been approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are transferring your membership to another person who is attending this year\u2019s DemiCon, the person who is attending in your stead must have a letter signed by you giving the person permission to use your membership. You must notify our Registration Department in writing (an e-mail to registration@demicon.org<\/a> will suffice) and provide your full name, plus the full name and contact information of the person who will attend DemiCon in your place. We cannot transfer your membership to another person without your written consent. We prefer that you arrange the transfer at least a week in advance of the convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any questions, please contact registration@demicon.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harassment is any form of behavior that is unwelcome, unreciprocated and unsolicited which makes an unpleasant, humiliating or intimidating environment for the person who is the target of that behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all convention attendees\/club members and allow for a wide diversity of beliefs, lifestyles and morals, we will adopt and maintain the following behavior protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you mean NO \u2014 say NO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you hear NO \u2014 STOP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you witness someone having trouble saying or hearing NO \u2014 get involved using your best judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see harassment, contact Con Staff at The Hub or speak with a designated DemiCon Ranger in your area. If circumstances warrant, intervene as good judgment dictates until a Ranger arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes out of politeness, people may not be direct when trying to communicate \u201cno.\u201d We need to make it okay to say \u201cno\u201d and mean \u201cno.\u201d Do not joke away, ignore, or minimize unwanted attention. Speak up right away and make your feelings clear. There is nothing wrong nor is there any shame in saying \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When someone says \u201cno,\u201d then all relevant actions, verbal and\/or physical, must stop immediately. There should be no questions, clarifications, cajoling, debate, coercion or any continuation of any sort of the unwanted attentions. If someone tells you \u201cno,\u201d you will not wait for it to be repeated, and you will not retaliate in any way. It is understood that any continuation of the subject in question is incumbent upon the person saying \u201cno\u201d to initiate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are times when we may be witness to someone struggling or unable to voice a \u201cno,\u201d or there may be someone who has not recognized that \u201cno\u201d was spoken. In either case, we have an obligation as convention attendees\/club members to intercede in the situation to make sure all parties reach the correct understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will have no direct contact of any sort with the convention attendees\/club members registering the complaint(s). This includes voice, written, electronic, and face-to-face contact. Inadvertent contact during the course of club and convention events is sometimes unavoidable, and must not be used as a method of initiating unwanted attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you see harassment, contact Con Staff at The Hub or speak with a designated DemiCon Ranger in your area. If circumstances warrant, intervene as good judgment dictates until a Ranger arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Failure to adhere to DemiCon\u2019s policies will result in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Mediation by the ConCom and convention\u2019s Rangers with all parties involved in an incident DemiCon\/DMSFFS is prepared to deal with any violations of our policies as legally, rapidly, and efficiently as possible. We hope that all members will help to make DemiCon an enjoyable experience for all, by respecting the rights of all attendees while in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DemiCon\/DMSFFS reserves the right to revoke membership and eject any individual at any time from DemiCon. No refunds will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have questions about any of DemiCon\u2019s policies, please concom@demicon.org, our head committee or the DMSFFS Board at info@dmsffs.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is an often-seen phenomena on the Internet that consists of a list of frequently asked questions. These usually consist of questions that new people tend to ask established communities. There is a less-often seen phenomena on the Internet that consists of a list of infrequently asked questions. These are often humorous, and sometimes misleading. Well, we here at the Des Moines Science Fiction & Fantasy Society have decided to combine the two. What follows is a list of questions that are not often asked, but that we feel should be. Please browse the questions (and answers) listed here. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Registration opens at 2:00 PM (14:00) on Friday May 3, 2024. The Opening Ceremonies start at 7:00 PM on Friday, but we will have various activities starting around 2:00 PM, so show up early for maximum fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: Schedule is subject to change. See the official schedule when it is posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DemiCon enjoys an average attendance of around 500 people. Our members (attendees) are all ages from all over the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Opening Ceremonies is the official kick-off for the convention. The Guests of Honor will be introduced, along with other attending guests and the convention steering committee (ConCom). This is followed by a performance by the Trans-Iowa Canal Company West\u2122, an amateur theater troupe specializing in science fiction oriented comedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You do not have to wear a costume to enjoy DemiCon. Just show up as yourself and join the fun. Some people choose to wear costumes, and they will run the range from festive party clothing to the bug-eyed monster of the week. You may see Klingons, vampires, pirates, superheroes, steampunk costumes, and whatever else our creative attendees can imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes! There are two costume contests at DemiCon \u2014 the Hall Costume contest on Friday night, and Masquerade & Cosplay on Saturday night. Please review the rules for these events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the activities and events at DemiCon are suitable for all ages. Activities for specific age groups will be labeled on the event schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DemiCon offers a wide range of programming choices. If content of a program or event is intended for \u201cmature audiences only\u201d it will be clearly labeled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No, DemiCon does not provide any daycare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is plenty of free parking in the hotel\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course not! You may come and go as you please from the convention. You are free to stay or not stay anywhere you choose, including but not limited to, your home, your car, a castle, a dragon\u2019s lair, an alternate dimension, or a Hobbit hole. Remember to bring your badge with you each time you return to DemiCon from that alternate dimension, as the badge is required for admission to the con.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DemiCon has many activities both planned and unplanned. The planned activities tend to involve entertainment, discussions, educational events, and workshops. The entertainment ranges from video to live theater to live musical performance. The discussions range from old and new issues in literature to what to expect from the new television seasons. The educational events involve panels on science, science fiction, fantasy, literacy, writing, the arts and so much more. Workshop topics vary year to year and can cover projects involving writing, costuming, gaming, theater, music, programming, and art. The unplanned activities vary even more, but generally seem to involve a lot of talking to old friends, making new friends, playing games, and exploring new places to eat lunch, supper, dinner, late dinner, later dinner, latest dinner, and desert. For specific information on planned events, please refer to the Programming page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preregistration on-line before April 1, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n At-the-door registration<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are also a variety of day passes. For more information please see the Registration<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The convention begins on Friday at 2:00 p.m. and runs straight through, 24 hours a day, until 4:00 p.m. Sunday (times subject to change). The cost of the regular membership actually works out to around $1.30 an hour for a whole bunch of fun and entertainment, and includes refreshments available in the Hospitality Suite on the 5th floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The program book\u2019s advertising rates are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inside Front Cover (live area 5\u2033 x 8\u2033): $75 Contact publications@demicon.org<\/a> to submit an ad to us.
