General Rules

​​

  • Be nice and have fun! All of your fellow CCC con-goers are there to have a good time, so be friendly, make new friends, and have a good time at CCC!

  • Offensive behavior should be kept out of CCC and reserved for the privacy of your own home. CCC staff and security have the right to ask you to leave the convention without refunding the cost of your badge if you are behaving in an inappropriate fashion.

  • Naked is not a costume. Please wear appropriate (or at least enough) clothing while attending CCC. 

  • Please abide by our weapons policy. In the harsh reality of our times, our security staff and local law enforcement will treat anything that looks like a real gun as a real gun.

  • While we don’t want anyone to lose anything, CCC is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property or for injuries sustained during the course of CCC.
