Registration options for annual Kumoricon Event Membership are listed below. Membership includes attendance to Kumoricon 2013 as its primary benefit.

Check-In

All Kumoricon attendees, both those who have pre-registered and those registering at the door, need the following to check in:

• Photo ID
• Parent permission form if under age 18 (see links below)

If you are pre-registered, then you also need:

• Your badge/membership card, if it was mailed

If you opted to have your badge mailed but it was not mailed or not received due to a problem, don't worry—you can pick up your badge at the convention (you won't need to buy another membership).

Convention Policies

Kumoricon Convention Policies – All attendees and people at the convention must follow these policies.

Minors

A minor is anyone under the age of 18.

Minors ages 13 to 17 are required to have a signed parent permission form in order to attend the convention. Download this form below. This can be mailed to us in advance, or brought to the con during check-in. Minors between ages 13 and 17 do not require a convention guardian to attend, though we do encourage parents/guardians to come enjoy the con with their family.

Minors age 12 and under must be accompanied at all times by a parent or legal guardian who is also a paid member.

Your age on August 30, 2013 determines what type of membership you need to purchase. If you turn 13 or 18 during the convention, you can swap out your badge for the upgraded age type during the convention, starting on the day of your birthday, without any additional cost, but if you intend to do this, please contact us in advance to make arrangements at registration@kumoricon.org.

Parent Permission Form – Required to enter if you are from age 13 to 17. Please fill in the fields, have a parent sign, and include with your mail-in registration, or bring it with you to the convention if you registered online or are planning to register at the door.

Other Types of Registration

People seeking to attend Kumoricon as staff, panelists, Artists Alley members, exhibitors, press, or industry should not register using the instructions on this page but should instead register separately.

Staff Registration

Please pursue the staff membership process by seeking approval for a staff position, or speaking with current directors or staff to seek out a position that fits you if you are unsure.

If you have already pre-registered as an attendee, you can change from an attendee to staff if you decide to become staff later and are approved. This is an upgrade, and in that case, your attendee registration cost dues will be refunded to you.

Press Registration

Some members of the press may be eligible for complimentary press badges. Please see our press page for more information
