Badge Pickup and Registration Hours

Naka-Kon does not mail out convention badges.

Naka-Kon reserves the right to change the above schedule if necessary. Any such changes will be announced on our social media sites.

You may give or sell your badge to someone who can attend, but you must submit a completed Badge Transfer Form so we can update our registration records. If the transfer is not in our records, the recipient may not be able to pick up the badge. The priority deadline for badge transfers is March 10, 2027.

ID Check will be at a designated station in Registration or the Access Control Office. All 18+ panels, screenings, and some events require a wristband. You will need to provide your valid, government issued photo-ID (such as a driver’s license, passport, or military ID), as well as your valid 2027 Naka-Kon badge.

Please make sure to read our full 18+ Wristband Policy.

Wristband Pickup Hours

Naka-Kon reserves the right to change the above schedule if necessary.

Group discounts are available for educational institutions and public libraries. Please complete the request form for additional details and to request consideration for this discount.

All sales are final. We recommend that you wait to purchase the badge until you are sure that your schedule and finances will work out for that weekend.

Illness Exception: In the event you fall ill from COVID or other transmissible illness, please contact registration@naka-kon.com to inquire about membership badge refund or transfer.

Your badge is valuable and it is your responsibility to keep it secure. Naka-Kon will not refund or replace badges that are lost or stolen. Attendees who lose their badges must purchase a replacement badge to re-enter the convention.
