‪#‎tbt‬ is here again! This one is a map from 2003. With the new Adelaide Convention Centre upgrades you can bet the maps will look a little different to this one. If there was one thing you could add/ take away from any of the maps what would it be?

No "Free Hugs" Signs Policy

"Free Hug" and equivalent signs are officially off limits this year at AVCon.

We've had a large number of complaints and incidents with conduct of people bringing "Free Hugs" signs and being inappropriate to attendees. The AVCon elect has officially decided to ban them from the convention this year.

This is a topic that is big in the convention scene right now, as it opens up to assault cases and personal space issues. Outside of signs, please respect your fellow attendees space and always seek consent before any physical contact.

If you know anyone planning to bring one, it would be an idea to let them know we'll be removing them this year to avoid awkwardness.

Map and Timetables now live!
