Windycon Covid-19 Policy
Windycon and ISFIC are committed to the health and safety of our fannish family, and that will always be our first priority. As we continue to plan the 2024 convention, we find ourselves making many decisions that try to balance that priority against providing all those elements that make a Windycon, well, Windycon.
The ISFiC Board has met and decided on the following Covid-19 Policy for Windycon 50. This policy is current as of September 19, 2024. Any changes to this policy will be posted here and via our Social Media outlets.
Bottom Line Up Front
- Masks are welcome, but not required.
- Neither proof of vaccination or proof of a negative Covid-19 test will be required.
Masks are Welcome. Harassment is not.
Some folks will mask-up to one degree or another. Others will not. Those are individual decisions made for personal reasons. We may not all agree with the reasoning on any side, but we remind all attendees to be respectful of the opinion of others.
Illness Pre-Convention
If you should fall ill before the event and become unable to attend, let us know by sending an e-mail to registration@windycon.org. Windycon will roll-over your membership in full to 2025 and work with you and the hotel in canceling your hotel reservation up to the day of check-in.
If you had Covid recently and have recovered, we ask that you consult the CDC Guidelines before deciding to attend Windycon.
Illness At Convention
If you should fall ill at the event, you are asked to remove yourself from the convention area. If you do so voluntarily, Windycon will roll-over your membership in full to 2025 and work with you and the hotel if you need to vacate early.
Failing to remove yourself voluntarily or when asked by Convention Staff will be considered a violation of our Code of Conduct, and any necessary action will be taken to protect the remaining attendees.
If you have any questions about this policy, please email registration@windycon.org.
