WHAT TO PACK & WHAT TO WEAR
While none of these items are required, here are a few optional things we recommend bringing to make your CrimeCon weekend more comfortable:
Portable phone charger
Comfortable shoes
Layers (Las Vegas is hot but ballrooms are not)
Reusable water bottle
Dress Code Reminder: The dress code for CrimeCon is respectful casual. Our event is attended by a diverse range of people, including industry professionals, law enforcement, consumers, and victims (as well as their friends and families). As you consider what to wear, think carefully about being respectful and "when in doubt, leave it out." Cosplay (or dressing up in theme or as a character) is strictly prohibited.
CrimeCon organizers are the sole decision-makers on whether something crosses a line. Thank you in advance for helping us create an environment of support, love, and respect.
