Accessibility
Colossalcon is committed to making our events accessible and inclusive for all attendees. We adhere to all state and federal disability laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Please note that while we strive to ensure accessibility at our events, Colossalcon is not responsible for the policies or staff of the venues we use. We encourage you to contact the venue directly for any venue-specific accessibility information. The venue’s accessibility page can be found on their website here.
We are committed to providing a welcoming experience for everyone and are here to assist you with any needs you may have.
Our staff will be happy to help ensure you are comfortably seated at events in regards to your disability. This may include removing chairs from a row to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility aids, allowing guests with visual or hearing disabilities to sit near the front, or ensuring that those with sensory issues can sit towards the back. While this may not automatically grant front-of-line privileges, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Service animals, as defined by the ADA, are welcome at all our events. Service animals are dogs or miniature horses that are individually trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities in a wide range of environments. Please note that while emotional support or companion animals are important, they are not recognized as service animals under the ADA and do not have public access rights. Please be sure to check the pet policy of the venue, as we must abide by each venue’s pet policies, and know that if a service animal is not house broken, displaying aggression, etc., it may be asked to leave. If you require accommodations or have specific accessibility needs, please reach out to us via our disability services email address or visit our Help & Safety Booth during event hours.
We understand that the unexpected can happen. When it does, Con Ops has a small supply of hygiene products including spray on deodorant, aloe gel (in case of burns), band-aids, hand sanitizer, and uterine hygiene products. Please stop by Con Ops and ask for what you need!
If you require assistance from your PCA during the event you may request a complimentary standard day pass at the Registration booth for the day(s) you will be attending. If you are a VIP and believe that you may need your PCA while in line, please stop by our Help & Safety desk so they can assist.
We provide a designated Quiet Room in the convention center for guests that may be overwhelmed or overstimulated. In order to ensure this room remains a quiet space and does not become a hangout, it is not on the convention map. Please ask our Help & Safety team for access to the Quiet Room and we’ll be happy to assist you.
