Map..........................................90 Dragon Con 2014 Welcome to the 28th Dragon Con! Do you enjoy watching the parade, but hate getting out in those crazy crowds? Shhh…we are going to let you in on a little secret. This year we will be LIVE broadcasting the parade on DCTV. Why keep this hopefully glorious feat a secret, you ask? Well, as with all new things there could be bumps in the road and we would sure hate to promise something that we may not get 100% right the first year. We do, however, think it is a very exciting potential for future years and just had to share it with you. If you are a risk taker and would prefer to relax in the comfort of your hotel room, do it...we’ve worked long and hard on plans for any potential challenges. We are glad you are here. It’s going to be a great year, full of lots of cool new things as well as the old favorites. First off, we are proud that Dragon Con truly is in our opinion the best place in the world to enjoy the creativity and hard work of the Cosplay community. With that, we figured it was time to give them a space to get out of the spotlight and we will be adding a Cospitality Lounge courtesy of Riot Games’ League of Legends on the SkyLine (10th Floor of the Marriott). For those fans that like to enjoy the 10th floor to meet up with old friends or just get a break from the action, don’t worry— you will still be welcome to enjoy the remaining space when not in use for convention events. Speaking of those amazing Cosplayers, we have begun making exciting changes to our Friday Night Costume Contest. This year’s event will be hosted by Face Off’s RJ Haddy and Roy Wooley and the Best in Show Prize package has been given a facelift by including something truly worth competing for—a guaranteed reservation at one of the host hotels for Dragon Con 2015! Additionally, we have added a Fan Favorite Category in the Professionals Group with the person earning the most likes on our Facebook getting to skip the line to meet their favorite celebrity. Keep an eye out on our social media and BECOME the judge!! And the new fun doesn’t stop there…for those of you who enjoy listening to the delightful music of the Concourse stage and want a little change in scenery, we are introducing a second stage on the back patio of the Hilton. It will surely be a great place to visit with friends, grab a drink and bite to eat, and revel in the talents of our 28 bands joining us for the Dragon Con festivities. We do hope you take a moment to go out and check it out! Don’t forget to enjoy what has become a Dragon Con tradition. Saturday night from 7:00 pm–11:00 pm, will be Dragon Con Night at the Georgia Aquarium. The aquarium is set up to sell discounted tickets at the Sheraton, outside of Registration if you have not already secured your spot. This year we added a VIP option that includes aquarium admission, private lounge with views of animal gallery, open bar, light bites and a limited edition Dragon Con collectible pin. Once again we have arranged an outstanding line up of guests and professionals. Please respect the privacy of our guests and stars. They will be available for autographs in the Walk of Fame, or in the autograph area, but not on the convention floor or in hotel restaurants. Some of our stars ask to be photographed only in a controlled environment. Many have photo ops that you can sign up for in advance or at the show. We ask that you not take photos of the guests while they are autographing. Please ask the stars or their agents what their photo policy is and adhere to it. Basically, please allow them to enjoy their Dragon Con experience too! Speaking of allowing others to enjoy the experience, we want to remind you of our harassment policy as well as the process to report instances should they occur. Be sure to read onto the next page to get all of the details. We are determined to eliminate any and all inappropriate conduct to the best of our ability. We will again be doing badge checks to control access and occupancy of the hotels and will be expanding the hours to other high traffic times. This is to insure that there is plenty of space for you members to move about. Please wear your membership badges in plain view whenever you are in convention space or the public areas of the hotels. We have a new app again this year built for the iPhone, Droid, and a web based version for all other users. This will keep you updated with the latest information changes throughout the convention. All of the information that you are used to finding in our pocket program plus much more will be available on your smart phone. On behalf of our 1800 volunteers, we wish you a wonderful Dragon Con experience. Thanks for making us part of your Labor Day weekend. Rachel Reeves Co-Chairman Pocket Program3 Convention Policies Vital Information As a Dragon Con 2014 Member, Guest, Professional, Program Participant, Dealer, Exhibitor, or Volunteer you have received a membership badge. Please wear it at all times during the convention and in convention public areas. Don’t Forget Your Badge! We pride Dragon Con on being a safe place, where everybody is welcome and anybody can be whomever they desire. Even so, certain kinds of offensive or harassing behavior are not tolerated. To the best of our ability, we intend to eliminate inappropriate conduct from the convention. It is very important that if you are being harassed or are in any way endangered, you report it immediately to the Security Office in the Marriott Room M102. In our Security operation area, there will be a private screening area and an Atlanta Police officer specifically assigned to council individuals who feel that they have been harassed. We cannot address anything that we are not made aware of and we need whatever detail can be provided, such as names, badge numbers or other descriptive information. To ensure the safety of all of our attendees, there will be times that the hotels will require you to have your badge in order to enter the hotel. Alternatively, a valid hotel key (to the hotel you are trying to enter) may be used. Large Room Capacity Policy All event and program rooms have limited capacity as set by the Fire Marshal. Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee you access to any event if the room has reached its capacity. Additionally, all large ballrooms will be cleared in between panels. Line Formation Policy Lines for ballroom events will not be allowed to form more than one hour prior to the event, or until the line for the current event has completely entered the ballroom. Each ballroom will have signage marking the location where the line may start to form. Those in line will not be allowed to enter the ballroom until the previous panel has been completely cleared. Dragon Con reserves the right to revoke or suspend memberships and passes. If an individual breaks the rules of the convention, he or she may be barred from the convention, either for several hours (to sober up, perhaps) or for the rest of the event. If an individual breaks the law—city, state or federal—he or she will be arrested. If you have been accused of harassment and feel that you were treated unfairly you may appeal to the convention chair, but that decision will be final. Weapons Policy Our complete “Convention Policies and Rules” can be found on page 5 of your Program Book, in our app under “Show Documents,” or online at http:// dragoncon.org/?q=convention_policies. We have taken all of the gaming information and moved it into its own book! Copies of the Gaming Guide are available at Gaming Registration in the Galleria Ballroom at the Hilton. 4 All weapons must be non-working and peace bound. No functioning projectile weapons, including water pistols, silly-string guns, and pingpong pistols. Bladed weapons must be cased or sheathed at all times. Please check with Security in Room M102 on the Marquis Level of the Marriott Marquis if you need clarification on this policy, or if you are unsure about the status of your props. Gaming Guide DC TV: Live Broadcasts Dragon Con will again be presenting many of the more popular panels LIVE on DC TV! And because there’s just too much to do at once, we will also be presenting many panels on tape delay! Again this year, DC TV presents The Dragon Con Late Show, broadcast LIVE every morning at 9:00 am on DC TV—now with live studio audiences! The channels for DC TV are: Hyatt Regency: 56 Marriott Marquis: 74 Hilton Atlanta: 65 Sheraton Atlanta: 68 or 72 Westin Peachtree: 81 The full DC TV schedule listed on page 54 of the pull-out section in the middle of the book. So sit back, and watch from the comfort of your room! ATTENTION COSPLAYERS! We are excited to announce that we will be adding a Cospitality Lounge courtesy of Riot Games’ League of Legends on the SkyLine (10th Floor of the Marriott). Feel free to stop by to make repairs on costumes, grab a water to keep you hydrated or to simply relax and chat! No cameras will be allowed so it’s also an excellent escape to get away from the chaos of the convention floors. Are you an attendee that enjoys hanging out on the 10th Floor? Don’t worry—you will still be welcome to enjoy the remaining space when not in use for convention events. Brand New Concourse Stage at the Hilton All Hotel Bars Closing Early As per Georgia regulations, all of the hotel bars will be closing on Sunday, August 31, 2014 at 12:00 midnight (Monday morning). Dragon Con Concourse Stage will continue in its flagship location in the Hyatt Regency, and this year we will be adding a second stage on the deck at the Hilton! The new concourse stage is located on the lobby level at the back left and will feature the same great live sets you have come to love with our main concourse stage at the Hyatt! Pre-Recorded & Copyrighted Music Policy Challenge Coins for Charity It is the policy of Dragon Con not to allow any prerecorded music or copyrighted music to be played in the convention areas without written permission from the copyright holder, unless you are the recording artist/band or copyright holder. Violations of this policy will not be tolerated. Daily Dragon The Daily Dragon will be available each day of the convention at the information booths, registration desk, and in the fan track rooms.

Hotel Vaping Policies Our host hotels classify vaping as smoking. As such vaping will not be allowed inside the buildings except in designated areas and “smoking permitted” hotel rooms. Generally, vaping areas are not separate from smoking areas.
