• Programming and events
All event and program rooms have limited capacity as set by the Fire Marshall. Seating is limited and is on a first-come-first served basis. Even though your badge is needed to get into all events, it does not guarantee you access to any event if it has reached its capacity. We do not clear rooms between events. Most autograph signings are of a limited nature. Your badge does not guarantee autographs at any signing event. If an event or program interests you, we recommend you get there early.

Names appearing in Bold in program descriptions will be appearing on stage. The schedule is subject to change without notice. For last-minute additions and changes, please check the complete schedule signs posted in the programming Room hallways. People appearing on panels are subject to change.

• No smoking!
No smoking is allowed in Moscone Center or at any Convention event at any time and in any location. You are welcome to step outside to smoke, but please be considerate of others when you do. This policy is in place not only for the comfort of attendees but also to comply with San Francisco city ordinances prohibiting smoking at public events. Please comply with this policy; noncompliance may result in being ejected from the convention. The Convention Center has designated smoking areas outside which are indicated by the presence of canister ashtrays.

• Always wear your badge and hang onto it!
You will need your badge to attend any Convention function, including visiting the Con Suite or going to Convention-sponsored parties. If you're asked to show your badge, please do so.

Please do not give away your badge to people outside the Convention Center when you leave WonderCon. You may think you're doing someone a favor, but most of the badges given away end up being resold on the street, sometimes for an even higher price than what you would pay at WonderCon. Hold on to your badge!

• No paging!
Arrange a time and place to meet at the end of the day or if you get separated.

Please keep in mind that there will be no personal pages over the P. A. system. To get messages to people, leave them on the message area of the Information Board in the Main Lobby.

• Holster that weapon, citizen!
If you wear a costume that includes a replica weapon, please keep it attached to the costume. Don't draw it or aim it.

• Keep Fido and Fluffy at home.
If you have pets, including iguanas, parrots, boa constrictors, or other nonhuman critters, please leave them at home. Moscone Center will not allow animals into the building, except for service animals.

• Not-so-Hot Wheels.
Please be aware that handcarts, trolleys, oversized strollers, rolling luggage and wheeled backpacks are not allowed on the Exhibit Hall floor.

• Turn off that camera (or cellphone)!
No video or audio recording is allowed at movie studio presentations. Each program and presentation has its own rules when it comes to what can and cannot be photographed or recorded. Please abide by those rules when they are stated. These rules also apply to cell phones that contain cameras and video recorders.

• Silence your cell phone.
Please turn your cell phones and pagers off or to vibrate when you're in programming and event rooms. If you must take or make a call, please step outside.

• Headquarters Hotel
The San Francisco Marriott Hotel, conveniently located a few short blocks from Moscone Center, is our Headquarters Hotel.
