The venue will open at 10a on Friday November 17, and event hosts will be able to set up at that time on opening day. Convention hours are as follows: Friday 5p-11p, Saturday 9a-11p, Sunday 9a-5p. The convention will fully close on Sunday November 19 at 5pm and events will be expected to have taken down their setups at that time.
Meeple-a-thon will be providing a safe location for your event during the convention; however, highly sensitive items, such as cash boxes, should be kept by the host in a secure location when the host is not present. Meeple-a-thon is not responsible for the security of these highly sensitive items.

Safety
Meeple-a-thon is a fun convention and safety is one of our highest priorities. Event hosts are expected to take safety into consideration when setting up displays, setting up and tearing down, and conducting their business. Anyone who creates unsafe conditions will be asked to correct the safety risk and those who do not correct the risk will be asked to leave.
No Giveaway Food
Event hosts are not to have open giveaway foods, per the venue and Kansas City Health Department regulations.
Security
Meeple-a-thon will be providing a safe location for your event during the convention; however, highly sensitive items, such as cash boxes, should be kept by the event host in a secure location.

Outlets up to 5 Amps will be located near the event space upon request. Event hosts will need to provide their own power strips and extension cords, which will need to be taped down for safety reasons.
