Welcome to I-CON 23

Warning About Staying Late:
Our main Info Desk is located in the lobby of the Sports Complex. Main information services will remain open in ISC until midnight on Friday evening. The Information Desk will move from the ISC to the Javits Lecture Center on Saturday evening at 9pm. The ISC is locked by campus security at midnight each night.

If you have transportation or hotel questions, it's best to ask them EARLY in the evening. A satellite Info Desk may be operated from the Javits Lecture Center but this location is not convenient to shuttle buses, the LIRR station, or parking lots.

Entering and Leaving Campus Late:
After 11:45pm, entrance to and exit from SB Campus is limited to the main entrance on Nicolls Road. If you find yourself needing to enter campus after this time, stop at the University Police checkpoint, show your badge and explain where you are going. You may also need to show photo ID such as a driver's license.

Film ratings are provided only as a guide.
Parents should use their own judgment as to whether a particular film or TV show is suitable. [U] = Un-rated, no published rating could be found.

Don’t Forget!
I-CON has programming at the official I-CON Hotel - the Holiday Inn Ronkonkoma. Programming includes gaming and a Saturday night Masquerade with celebrity judges. Don’t miss it!
