All attendees must agree to maintain a level of decorum in areas shared with other hotel guests and while outside of the bar and restaurants we are using; this includes wearing street legal attire in common hallways/ on the street, and levels of intoxication/impairment of individuals. Any behavior that may jeopardize the American Brotherhood Weekend brand or any of its attendees may result in removal from the event and bans for upcoming events.

By attending American Brotherhood Weekend, you agree to adhere to the below Diversity and Inclusion, Expectations of Conduct, and Reporting policies. 

We at American Brotherhood Weekend are committed to building and shaping a leather community where everyone can participate fully as themselves. Consequently, we strive to create inclusive and diverse events where participants can feel physically and emotionally safe and treated with equality and respect. We welcome everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, race, national origin, religion, or kink.

All attendees, contestants, guests, ABW staff, and ABW titleholders (“participants”) in American Brotherhood Weekend events are expected to help build and maintain an inclusive and safe environment and conduct themselves accordingly. We do not tolerate racism, discrimination or harassment of any form. Unwelcome racist, harassing or discriminatory conduct will be met with prompt action, which may include expulsion from all American Brotherhood Weekend spaces without refunds of any kind.

While we understand that the world is currently a dumpster fire, please remember that discussions of religion, politics, and world events can be sensitive topics. Please manage your conversations with others accordingly. Reasonable people can agree that if a discussion escalates into an argument, then it is the responsibility of all parties involved, including spectators, to disburse/de-escalate the confrontation. Please don’t let things get to the point that ABW staff needs to step in. 

In short, don’t be an asshole and you won’t get kicked out.
