Names

When registering, you must provide a name that matches a legal ID that you have (unless you are a minor; see below). We only use this name for badge pickup to verify the correct person is picking up the badge. 

You can also provide a "badge name," which is the name you would like to be referred to while you are at the convention. This is the name that will appear on your printed badge.

Note: Geekway Staff reserves the right to disallow any names on badges that they feel are inappropriate or fail to meet these guidelines. These badges will be refunded without warning.

If you do not wish to use a legal name to pick up your badge, please email us to make arrangements at geekway@geekway.com.

Minors under the age of 18 that do not have a valid ID may have their badge picked up by a guardian, but still need to have a legal name entered for their badge when registering.

Pronouns

Geekway is committed to diversity, inclusivity, and safety. For some members of our community, being misgendered can be hurtful. Misgendering an individual, accidental or not, can be a troubling experience, both for the person being misgendered, and the person doing the misgendering.

Geekway will ask you for your preferred pronouns during the badge registration process. Pronouns will be visible on your badge. As board gaming requires communication between players, having pronouns visible in this way will improve not only the inclusivity and safety of our attendees, but also cultivates better communication.

If your pronouns are not listed please reach out to us at geekway@geekway.com and we will make sure your correct pronouns are on your badge. If you would prefer your pronouns to not be printed on your badge, please select “Prefer Not to Say".

If you have any concerns or questions about our Badge Name and Pronoun Policy, please contact us at geekway@geekway.com.
