MEET & GREET POLICY
Please note the following guidelines to help ensure a smooth and fair experience for all attendees:
- Arrive Early: Speakers may not stay for the full allotted time if they are able to complete the line early. We strongly encourage you to arrive at the start of the listed Meet & Greet time to maximize your opportunity.
- No Place Holding: Attendees who wish to participate in a Meet & Greet must be physically present in line themselves. In the interest of fairness, our staff cannot permit holding places in line for others.
- Capacity Limits: Staff may cut off Meet & Greet lines early if the number of attendees exceeds what the speaker can realistically accommodate during the allotted time. This helps avoid unnecessary waiting and allows attendees to enjoy other sessions.
- Standby Lines: Some Meet & Greets may have a standby line, which does not guarantee access to the speaker. Entry from standby is dependent on available time and the pace of the primary line.
- Fast Pass Access: Diamond and Platinum VIPs have access to a Fast Pass lane for Meet & Greets. To use this lane, you must be wearing your Fast Pass wristband, which can be picked up at registration or in the Diamond/Platinum Lounge. No exceptions can be made without the wristband visibly on your wrist.
- Accessibility: We are committed to providing an inclusive experience for all attendees. If you require any special accommodations, please contact our staff in advance at access@crimecon.com or visit the Accessibility Desk onsite. We’ll do our best to ensure your needs are met.
- Arrive Early: Speakers may not stay for the full allotted time if they are able to complete the line early. We strongly encourage you to arrive at the start of the listed Meet & Greet time to maximize your opportunity.
