Care Givers
KuroNekoCon provides complementary membership to certified caregivers who are attending KuroNekoCon in order to assist another attendee member. Please contact accessibility@kuronekocon.com before the event in order to register as a caregiver, you will then be sent instructions for badge pickup.
Please bring your ID and a caregiver badge (or other form of work verification) when picking up your badge.
Express Access
Individuals who need express access to the front of lines or priority seating in events due to a disability or visible ailment (broken leg, etc.) should speak with the staff member managing the line. Staff can also bring chairs in order to sit in the line if requested.
- For Registration: For express access to the front of registration or the will call line, we ask that a disability card/band or obvious ailment (broken leg, wheel chair, etc.) be presented to a staff member. At that time we can move the attendee and their attending adult or caregiver (if applicable) towards the front of the registration line.
- For Convention Events (Events held in Main Events): Please speak with the staff member managing the event line. Early seating may occur no earlier than the beginning of setup for the event.
- For Fan and Industry Panels: Please speak with the staff member managing the panel line. Early seating may occur only after the staff member receives consent from the panel host.
