Attending Dragonsteel Nexus as a minor?

[Kansas Stormcursed he/him]

So I’m looking at attending Dragonsteel Nexus this year but figured I should check if I needed an accompanying adult, I know in some places there can be legal problems otherwise, so yeah. Do I need a guardian to attend as a minor?

I would strongly recommend that you bring an adult with you to the convention. I have never been to Dragonsteel Nexus specifically but I have been to other conventions and for your safety (and a number of other potential reasons) you should have an adult present - even if you are technically allowed to attend without one.

You don't need an adult for most of the events, but I would bring a guardian with you just like @CtrlAltDepressed suggests. It is good to have an adult in case of emergency. The con is very welcoming and a whole lot of fun, but for things like medical or allergen or transportation I would bring a guardian.

To the Events i ve been to, i didn need an adult. I was in this event called Fantasy Basel, its a really big comic con in switzerland.

In all seriousness tho, there's always tons of people around, and probably security cameras too, you should be good.

Nah that's fair. If you ever are getting anxious or overwhelmed at the con, I highly recommend going to the quiet room, they have giant plushies.

Tickets to Nexus sold out early this summer I'm afraid  Though if you're over 16 and want to just go to the Worldhopper Ball, there are still some tickets for that (A nexus badge isn't required).

ok. good to know.

I hope I can go next year.

Yep! We'll have a booth in the exhibitor hall. I'll likely be there some, along with other mods that are going

They added a younger folks session that was 16+, tho they ended up cancelling that session cuz not enough people signed up for it. They moved the teens to a diff session tho. Might still have slots, but idk. If so, tickets are $225
