Displays may not be over 10ft (3.05m) tall, including the height of your table, or extend more that 2 feet (61 cm) behind your table. Displays behind your booth may not encroach on your neighbours space, nor block any emergency signs or exits. They must be able to stand freely (not on boxes, your table, or taped to the floor), and may not encourage attendees/other unauthorized people to go behind your booth (ie: no backdrops for photos).

Balloons will not be permitted for use in displays.

Participants will not be allowed to pin/tape/glue/otherwise affix any items to the wall of the building. Alteration of the JCCC’s property (including but not limited to drilling, nailing, glueing, etc) is strictly forbidden. Vendors will be liable for any damages to property of the JCCC/DashCon 2 that occur as a result of their display.

If any part of a vendor’s display falls or harms another participant or attendee, they will be liable for these injuries and asked to immediately take down the display.

Adult Content

Adult content includes, but is not limited to, any paraphernalia that is sexual, obscene, or extremely graphic. Generally speaking, if it isn’t allowed under the new Tumblr guidelines, it’s probaly adult content.

  2. Vendors must verify the age of their customers before exhibiting or selling such artwork
  3. Vendors must provide an opaque bag to conceal such artwork while on convention grounds

Vendors found violating this rule will have their admission revoked and will be asked to leave the venue. If you are unclear if your merchandise qualifies as adult content, please contact us at dealershall@dashcontwo.com
