Note: conventions with * have either not updated for several years, have a malfunctioning website, or may be defunct.

Note: While searching for "Anime Detour harassment policy" will bring up the page in a search engine, at time of evaluation there is currently no easy way to access it directly from the main website. It is also unclear as to whether the policy explicitly applies to staff, guests, or other faculty aside from attendees and exhibitors.

Note: Anime Fusion's policy can be found by navigating to Event Info > Tips & FAQs > Safety and Self-Care > Policies page linked in blue text toward the bottom. We do not feel this is intuitive. The convention lists a few phone numbers but none of them are specific to reporting an incident regarding Anime Fusion.

Note: AniMinneapolis has a conduct policy, but it is very vague and does not use the word "harassment" at any point. It is a Ryan Køpf con.

Note: Console Room's policy has some issues; it states that they won't ban an individual from attending the convention if they've only made a credible threat against you. They would have to threaten the convention. They also state that "settling interpersonal disputes lies solely with the individuals involved" which sounds dismissive of harassment.

Note: God, Comics, and Gaming Convention has a Rules page that expressly states "The Holy Bible, which is God's word is to be respected at all times around Christians at our event." Nothing explicit about harassment, though.

Note: Meta Con is a Ryan Køpf con.

Note: Minicon is run by the Minnesota Science Fiction Society, which does have an Anti-harassment policy. However, it is not linked in an obvious, easily accessible way and unfortunately cannot count toward Minicon's main website's policy at the time of latest update.
