area with a clothes rack and hangers, to allow you to change into whatever you want to wear (including nothing!). However,

Discretion
We know that this is exciting and it is easy to get swept up in the energy! However, please be aware that not everyone
you encounter outside the Event area has an interest in Kink. Please be respectful of vanilla folks within the local
establishments you patronize during your INDY2024 Experience. Safety and discretion of the Event participants is paramount.
If this is jeopardized, the offending person will be immediately ejected from the Event and banned from
further IMAS Events or functions.

play, rough play, abductions, or any other scene that appears dangerous or non-consensual. If, as an observer, you see
play that appears dangerous or non-consensual, please do not interrupt the scene. Rather, ask the PSM or any
IMAS Staff member to investigate the scene. In fact, if you have questions about ANY behaviors or scenes at the Event,
ask any IMAS Staff member for clarification and information. Remember, at an IMAS Event, there is no purposeful/intentional
puncturing of the skin permitted.
