What security measures will be in place at Jewish Joy Con?

The safety of all those in attendance at Jewish Joy Con is our priority.

We work closely with the venue, private security, and law enforcement authorities to identify risks, assess them, and develop security plans for our events. Please keep your badge visible at all times, and report any concerns immediately to staff or security personnel.
