Food

Breakfast is included Sunday.
All meals are “grab and go.”
These are the only meals included in your Weekend pass. Day passes have only the meal that day (Saturday pass = Saturday lunch).
There are some food options in the hotel and many in walking distance.
Menu for the included meals will be available 1-month before event. There is a vegan and gluten free option.
There is a cash bar Friday night for those 21 and over in the PoleCon showcase area.
Dress Code
Many people wear fitness attire such as a tank top and leggings over any pole wear.
You *must* wear an appropriate amount of clothing (what you would wear to a mall or other public space) when in the foyer, in between workshop rooms, the PoleCon foyer (marked on the map as “Centennial Ballroom Foyer”), and any other public part of the hotel as there will be other non-pole groups sharing the space.
