Frequently Asked Questions

ClexaCon is named after two iconic LGBTQ characters, Clarke and Lexa from the CW’s The 100. The storyline inspired fans to push for positive representation in the media and raised over $160K for The Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization supporting LGBTQ youth. While Clexa serves as the inspiration behind ClexaCon, we are a multi-fandom event celebrating many ships, past and present, throughout TV and film.

Absolutely! Everyone is welcome!​ You do not have to identify as LGBTQ+ or even as a woman. Anyone and everyone should attend ClexaCon! We strive to make ClexaCon a safe and welcoming space for everyone within the LGBTQ+ family and our allies who wish to support us.

Thank you for all of the support you have given us. Please continue to spread the word about ClexaCon. If you would like to support the convention in other ways, please consider consider donating to the scholarship fund by contacting us at [email protected] You can also help by volunteering your time and skills.

YES. ClexaCon is committed to providing a safe and fun experience for all attendees, exhibitors, guests, and staff. As such, all are entitled to respectful treatment at our convention and associated events. ClexaCon will NOT tolerate inappropriate behavior of any kind, including but not limited to harassment because of age, disability, marital status, race or color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Any threatening behavior toward guests, staff, volunteers, or attendees with the intent to harass, annoy, alarm, abuse, torment, or embarrass another is unacceptable and grounds for removal from the convention without a refund. If unacceptable behavior continues local authorities will be contacted and criminal charges may follow.

Any behavior that violates this policy during the lead-up to the convention, whether in person or online, will also be considered grounds for being barred from attending the convention. Tickets will not be refunded if voided for this reason.

Anyone who sees or feels that their experience is being compromised due to unacceptable or questionable behavior is encouraged to speak with ClexaCon staff immediately with any concerns for appropriate action. ClexaCon staff can be located in the registration area and throughout the show floor or by email at [email protected].

Anyone who has been to a convention probably has horror stories about badge pick-up lines that usually involve hours of stress, boredom and more boredom. At ClexaCon, we like to do things a little differently. Attendees are invited to join us at our official badge pickup party where you can not only get your all-important convention badge, but have a few drinks, meet old friends, new friends and friends you haven’t met yet. Don’t worry, if you miss the badge pick-up party, you can still pick up your badge at the convention registration desk.

Unfortunately we cannot give replacement badges so please keep it safe!

We sometimes offer virtual celebrity add-ons during an in-person event. You are welcome to purchase in-person and virtual options for the same event but please be aware that virtual options may take place during in-person activities so you may have to choose between which events to attend. If you wish to participate in both in-person and virtual options, please consider waiting for the schedule to be released before purchasing your options.
