Are there any public health related requirements?
To provide the best environment for our Guests and our attendees, we will follow the following guidance:
- Masks are required for all guest interactions. Guest interactions include autograph sessions and any time you approach a guest, whether in a panel or the halls.
- Please use social distancing when possible.
- At the autograph sessions, hand sanitizer will be available for your use when approaching the table to receive your autograph.
When can I start lining up for guest panels?
Please do not line up before a guest panel any more than thirty (30) minutes before an event. See the staff stationed outside the doors for guidance.
Can I talk to the guests after a panel or autograph session?
Due to guest schedules and other commitments, guests may not be able to speak after events. It is best to approach the staff liaison to see if the guest is available for a brief conversation. Do not crowd around the guests.
When will I be able to get an autograph from a guest?
Please reference the Katsucon schedule for autograph times and locations. You can filter the schedule in Guidebook by “Autograph” to see only the scheduled autograph sessions.
VIP attendees have separate autograph sessions. There is no guarantee that guests will be present at these sessions, and VIPs may need to attend a general session to receive autographs. There is no “front of line” privilege for VIPs.
Please refer to Katsucon’s social media for any announcements regarding potential changes to autograph sessions. Times and places are subject to change.
When can I start lining up for autograph sessions?
You can arrive at the designated autograph line thirty (30) minutes before the start of the autograph session. See the staff stationed near the autograph line for further assistance.
Can I get back in line after I have already received an autograph?
Yes, you can get back in line at the end once you receive an autograph. There is no guarantee that you will receive additional autographs.
Can I give a gift to a guest?
If you are thinking of bringing a gift for a guest, please follow these guidelines for both practical and safety reasons. Guests reserve the right to decline any gift.
- Please do not present any gifts during guest panels. Staff may ask you to wait until the end of an event to give your gift, or a staff member may provide it to the guest on your behalf.
- Package your gift using a gift bag or clear packaging.
- Remember that guests are traveling to this location, so you may want to avoid gifting them with large or bulky items. It should easily fit into luggage and be durable.
- Food items will not be accepted.
