The head of Kokorokon's Safety Department has the final say as to the interpretation of these rules.
Children Attending:
Programming that is considered to have stronger language or material may be marked 13+ or 18+ in the program schedule. All 18+ events require badge and ID checks.
Kokorokon cannot accommodate, predict, or take responsibility for the language and behavior of other members, nor will Kokorokon take responsibility for any minors at the event. However, the convention space will become very crowded and it is recommended that an adult accompany all minors at all times.
If you should have a problem with a lost child, please contact any security member or ConOps and they will help in any way they can. When registering for a badge on-site or picking up a badge after pre-purchasing online, members under 16 will require a responsible party 18 or older to sign to pick up a badge.
