For attendees age 13 to 17 only, if one of the above forms of ID is not available, then school ID from the current or previous school year is acceptable. If school ID is not available, then the attendee's parent or legal guardian must be present during check-in.

If acceptable ID is not presented, you will not be able to enter Kumoricon Lite.

Please contact your coordinator, manager, or director with your regular Kumoricon position, or the position you are interested in at Open Positions, to inquire about open positions at Kumoricon Lite.
