We expect CouncilCon attendees to treat others and be treated themselves with dignity and respect. Unacceptable behavior by attendees includes, but is not limited to: obscene language, racial or other slurs, threats, and acts of violence. Anyone who sees or hears an attendee engaged in unacceptable behavior should notify CouncilCon staff, who will address the situation as we deem appropriate.

Refund Policy
If you have bought a badge and find you are unable to attend Council, please contact us about receiving a refund. If possible, cancel any event tickets you have selected before reaching out to us, as a courtesy to other gamers who might want to grab a spot in those games. The sooner we hear from you the better... but don't make the ambulance driver wait while you send us an email.
