FAQ

CrimeCon is an immersive, event dedicated to all things true crime. .

If you enjoy watching true crime content listening to it podcasts, or reading about it in books, CrimeCon is for you.

Made by fans, for fans, CrimeCon's mission is to bring together thousands of creators and consumers for a weekend filled with fun, education, and lots of mystery.

One thing to note: While "con" is part of the name, this is not hundreds of people in an exhibit hall. CrimeCon is a much more intimate and immersive event featuring speakers, panels, breakouts, and hands-on experiences.

More than we can say here, but the idea is to completely immerse ourselves in the genre--so that means everything from educational sessions on things like ballistics, polygraphs, DNA, etc., to unique experiences that help us all get a better understanding of the difference between true crime in movies and TV vs. real life. 

And what kind of mystery-related convention would we be without a bunch of surprises up our sleeve?

The dress code for the convention itself (daytime sessions and experiences) is your preferred atire. Individual nighttime events might have separate dress codes but those would be detailed on the registration page for that event.

Cosplay (or dressing up in theme or as a character) is prohibited as creating an enviroment of respect and learning is paramount. If you have any questions on what may or may not be allowed inside the space please email us in advance to discuss.

Umm, no, they LOVED it! We surveyed all attendees afterward and asked them to rank their experience on a 0-10 scale. The average was an 8.8 and 2/3 of people ranked it a 9 or 10 as "One of the best weekends of my life!"

Groups

CrimeCon is better with friends, so please contact us if you have a group of 10+ for special pricing.

Yes. Due to the nature of the content and experiences, all registrants must be 18 or older by the first day of the Convention. We are sorry that we can no longer make exceptions to this policy. 

We have a limited number of opportunities available for products, brands, and content creators who'd like to have an on-site presence at CrimeCon. Please see our Exhibitors or Sponsors page or contact us for options.

Should the event need to be altered due to any new COVID restrictions, we will immediately refund you or you can transfer to a new date.

For those visitors not living in the UK, if the event can run but travel restrictions due to COVID mean you can't get to the event then the refund policy applies.

The COVID-proof guarantee does not apply if you have COVID or symptoms of COVID.

We have worked hard to offer a ticket that is great value for money, with so much content across the course of the event.

There are a variety of ticket offers in market offering discounts so keep an eye on the partners, speakers and podcasters as they have been provided with discount codes.

You sure will! Lots of our guests are coming individually. In fact 60% of our audience are single tickets purchased by women. The good news is there are lots of things we are doing to support you flying solo, so you are guaranteed to make friends.

We will be building into the schedule a solo networking event on Saturday morning for you to network and buddy up with likeminded individuals. We are also offering extended activities, including a free true crime pub quiz on Saturday night, walking tours at discounted rates, and dinners out where we will be group booking so you won’t need to dine alone if you don’t want to.
