No 18+ Material Allowed in the Exhibit Hall
Because the Overland Park Convention Center prides itself on being a family-friendly venue, vendors are not permitted to sell any mature material (18+). If you have questions or concerns about any of the products you intend to sell, please contact vendors@naka-kon.com with your inquiries

Bootleg Merchandise and Artificial Intelligence Generated Artwork
Bootleg merchandise and artificial intelligence (AI) generated artwork is not allowed in the Naka-Kon Exhibit Hall. This includes artwork derived in whole or in part from AI technology.
If you are found selling bootleg merchandise or AI-generated artwork, you will receive one warning and be asked to remove the items from the premises. If you are found selling bootleg materials or AI-generated artwork subsequent to the first warning, you will be asked to leave the convention without a refund.
In addition, your company will be placed on a list that Exhibit Hall staff will refer to when reviewing future applications for Naka-Kon.
