Greetings from the Team Leaders

Welcome to the best Nezumicon ever!
 This year we have focused even more on safety and divided the conitea into smaller teams. The event is continuously developed, so your feedback is very important to us. You can give feedback via this link.

We warmly welcome everyone interested to join the Nezumicon conitea! Our application form is always open – here is your chance to gain work experience, new friends, and a creative hobby. Apply to the conitea via this link.

Have a wonderful con day, dear visitor – remember to drink water and ask for help at the info desk if you need it.

Nezumicon is safe and enjoyable for everyone when we follow the rules and the staff’s instructions.

General rules

  •         Respect others’ personal boundaries: always ask permission before taking photos, hugging, or touching costumes/props.
  •         Bullying and harassment are strictly forbidden. Use common sense!
  •         The event is substance-free. Smoking, including e-cigarettes, is prohibited on the premises.
  •         Remember to eat and drink enough, and clean up after yourself!

Harassment contact person
 If you feel unsafe, immediately contact the harassment contact person. You can reach them via security staff. You can also approach youth workers. All conversations are confidential.

Photography

  •         Always ask permission before photographing someone and before publishing the photo.
  •         Do not photograph people while they are eating or taking a break.
  •         You don’t need permission for general photos of the event, but make sure everyone in the photo is comfortable.

Props
 Real weapons, airsoft guns, swords, and bladed weapons are forbidden. Props over 50 cm must be inspected at the info desk and marked with tape, which must always be visible. Unsuitable props will be confiscated. If you have questions about your prop’s suitability, please contact us in advance: nezumicon.fin@gmail.com

Blocking emergency exits
 Make sure stairways, narrow corridors, and emergency exits remain clear.

Fragrances and hygiene
 Take care of personal hygiene, use deodorant, but avoid excessive fragrances. Let’s avoid “con plague” together – do not attend if you are sick!

Artist Alley

Nezumicon’s Artist Alley and sales hall are one-way only, with the route Malmitalo – Työväenopisto – Varustamo.
