The following information is confidential for staff use in verification:


If your state ID does not match the legal ID name you input here, we will not be able to verify your identity. If you go by a different name, don't worry, because in the next section you may input a preferred name for your badge.


Please double check that your email is input correctly so we don't send your registration confirmation, occasional updates, or reminders of the approaching convention to be lost in the aether. We don't give out your information.


The following information is public and displayed on your badge:


This name can be what you go by, and is meant as a way to identify you in public. Perhaps your name is David Bowie, but you go by Davie Bowie or Ziggy Stardust. You get to choose what you are called when you introduce yourself.


We ask that you keep your badge name short, under 15 characters long, so that it fits within the parameters of the badge in large, bold text, so that it is easily visible for use, without squinting to read, unlike this line of fine print.


The following information is for in the event of illness, crisis, or conflict:

I agree to policies at orycon.org/policies/conduct.php
