vidukon_cardiffThis has been a delayed post, so apologies to anyone who's been waiting on this information. Any further questions or queries can be raised in comments or by emailing concom@vidukon.co.uk

Vidukon is committed to making the con environment an accessible and enjoyable place for all attendees.
The con hotel has step-free access throughout including the two rooms booked out for the con. If you have specific access needs that you'd like to discuss with us, send an email to concom@vidukon.co.uk and we'll do our best to help.
The con programme has regular breaks scheduled into the main programming. All panels and vidshows will take place in one room, and we have another room available next door for when you want to take a break and sit quietly or catch up with friends. If the breakout room is locked when you'd like to use it, just ask a member of the concom.
Vidshows aim to be a cinematic experience, with 45 minutes of silently watching vids on a big screen. There will be a few seconds' gap between each vid, and If you find that you need to leave during a vidshow, we ask that if possible you wait until a vid has ended to do so. (Sometimes that won't be possible! That's fine too.)
We are going to be asking VJs, panelists, and vidders submitting premieres to include content information about their vids. The options are:
+ No standard content notes apply
+ Choose not to use content notes (could be anything)
+ Contains graphic violence
+ Contains sexual violence
+ Contains physical triggers such as rapid cuts, strobe lighting or bright flashes
+ Other (free text if someone wants to provide other info)
If any attendee would like further detail about the content of vids being shown at the con (eg you have a specific trigger that is not included in that standardised list), please get in touch with the concom and we'll do our best to help. Anonymous queries welcome. The more notice we have the more thorough we can be in getting content information for you, so ideally email us at least a couple of weeks before the con, but if we get less notice than that we'll do our best to accommodate you.
The content information we collate will be available in attendee packs and on the website for ease of reference of attendees.
