If necessary, we will contact local law enforcement, provide escort, offer a safe place or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to make sure they feel safe for the rest of Ice & Fire Con.

If you would like to take a picture with or of another Ice & Fire Con attendee, always ask first and respect that person’s right to say no. When at Ice & Fire Con, be respectful, be nice, be cool, and be kind to each other.
