Question 1

Will I get arrested if I do crimes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Don’t do crimes. Crime is still illegal. As we wrote decades ago: "If you want to commit crimes, if you are interested in pulling fire alarms or breaking things, don't come to this con. We aren't here for that, and you shouldn't be either."

Question 2

Is Summercon safe for women, LGBTQ+ folks, or people new to hacker cons?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We have a public Code of Conduct (https://www.summercon.org/our-code-of-conduct) and a no-bullshit enforcement policy. Come as you are—just don’t be a creep.

Question 3

What’s the policy on doxing, harassment, or being a general menace?

Accepted Answer

Zero tolerance. You’ll be removed and possibly banned for life. If you see something, say something to anyone in a red staff shirt or call 720-586-HACK.
