<\/h1>\n<\/h1>\nThe Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront serves as the official headquarters and epicenter of FETISH CON\u2122, because the event takes over the entire property, access to the hotel and event areas is restricted to registered attendees only.<\/p>\n
Our goal is simple: create a safe, secure, professional, and comfortable environment for all attendees, creators, vendors, and industry professionals.<\/p>\n
During FETISH CON\u2122 there will be 24-hour event security stationed throughout the property, including:<\/p>\n
To enter the hotel or convention areas, attendees must display one of the following:<\/p>\n
Individuals without valid event credentials will not be permitted access to the property during the stated trade show dates.<\/p>\n
FETISH CON\u2122 is an adults-only event. Restricting access allows us to ensure that all attendees are:<\/p>\n
This helps us maintain accountability and quickly identify attendees if needed for safety or event-related matters.<\/p>\n
By limiting access to registered attendees, we help create an environment where everyone on property is expected to be there and has agreed to follow the official General Rules & Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n
Our priority is making sure attendees feel safe, respected, and comfortable throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n
FETISH CON\u2122 is built around networking, education, content creation, and community. Securing the hotel helps ensure the event remains focused on attendees who genuinely want to participate in the experience.<\/p>\n
We absolutely welcome newcomers and first-time attendees. However, the hotel is not open for casual sightseeing or unregistered visitors during event hours.<\/p>\n
FETISH CON\u2122 books the entire hotel property exclusively for the trade show.<\/p>\n
Beginning: Ending: During this time, the hotel operates as a private event venue rather than a public-access property.<\/p>\n Access to hotel areas including elevators, stairways, guest room floors, pool areas, restaurants, bars, and event spaces is restricted to credentialed attendees only.<\/p>\n FETISH CON\u2122 exists because of attendee support. Producing a four-day event of this scale involves significant staffing, security, venue, and operational costs.<\/p>\n Your registration helps support:<\/p>\n We appreciate everyone who supports the event by officially registering (buying a pass) and helping keep FETISH CON\u2122 thriving year after year.<\/p>\n Please note: You may not stay at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront during FETISH CON\u2122 weekend unless you are pre-registered for the event with an All Access Pass.<\/p>\n Hotel reservations are regularly cross-checked against registered attendee records.<\/p>\n If you have reserved a room without purchasing an All Access Pass, your reservation is subject to cancellation or forfeiture to attendees on the waiting list.<\/p>\n You must purchase your All Access Pass before arriving if you have a hotel room: Purchase All Access Passes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
