🎟️ Registration
Registration is a mandatory step to access the event. It opens at 8:00 a.m. and remains available throughout the day.
To facilitate the process, please prepare the following:
– Your “pass” ticket with visible QR code (printed version recommended)
– A valid ID
– Your collector booklet ticket (if purchased online)
– Your Fast Line ticket (if applicable)
At this stage, you do not need to present your extras.
⚠️ Please note ⚠️
If you are a minor, even if accompanied by a legal guardian or an adult, you must also provide:
→ the official People Convention parental authorization form (handwritten letters will not be accepted)
→ a copy of the legal guardian’s ID
WITHOUT THESE DOCUMENTS: access to the convention will be denied, with no refund possible.
Parents without a pass may accompany their child up to the wristband collection area, but will be asked to leave once this step is completed.
Parents with a pass accompanying a child under 12 must present the child’s ID in order to access extras with them.
You will receive a wristband corresponding to your pass. It will allow you to enter and leave the event freely throughout the day and must be worn at all times. No duplicate wristbands will be issued in case of loss or damage.
⚠️ Extras alone do not grant access to the event: a valid pass is required.
⚠️ Passes and extras are strictly personal: you cannot collect a wristband for someone who is not physically present. ID checks will be carried out regularly, including during extras.
⚠️ Any fraudulent use will result in exclusion from the event.
⚠️ The resale or exchange of extras is strictly prohibited. If your ticket (pass or extra) appears as “already scanned,” we will not be able to assist. Tickets are your responsibility: if shared or duplicated and used by someone else, this is not our responsibility.
🗓️ Schedule
The schedule is available on our website. It is provided for guidance only and may be adjusted at any time, including during the event.
Announcements will be made throughout the day to inform you of each extra starting time. Please pay close attention and ensure you attend your correct session.
A dedicated X (formerly Twitter) account (@PEOPLECONLIVE) will also share important updates in real time. We strongly recommend following it.
If you have multiple photo ops at the same time slot, you will be able to complete them consecutively. If you miss your extra despite multiple announcements, we cannot be held responsible: there are no rescheduled sessions. Your ticket will be considered used and is non-refundable.
🎫 To maintain the schedule, only a very limited number of extras will be available for purchase on site. Sold-out extras online will remain sold out on site. The online ticketing platform will remain open throughout the event.
⚠️ Please note that our card payment terminals may occasionally experience issues due to unstable Wi-Fi. We recommend bringing cash for any on-site purchases.
❌ Prohibited items ❌
To ensure everyone’s safety, certain items are not allowed at the event. Please review the list to avoid being denied entry.
Please note that cloakroom facilities will not be available. We recommend making arrangements in advance, especially for luggage.
🎤 Panels room & animation stage 🎤
ANIMATION STAGE
Located in the main hall, the animation stage is freely accessible all day to all pass holders. We strongly encourage you to participate in the games and quizzes, where you can win prizes and even extras.
In addition to games, quizzes, and karaoke, several highlights will take place:
a panel featuring the French voice actors of Henry/Vecna, Eleven, Will, and Holly (Sunday only), a professional SFX makeup demonstration, and a cosplay contest judged by professional cosplayers.
Yoann Sover (Henry/Vecna), Clara Soares (Eleven), and Tom Trouffier (Will) will also host a free autograph session after their panel.
PANELS
At SFM9 Paris, panels are considered extras. Please arrive at the panel room 15 minutes before your scheduled time.
Panels are Q&A sessions between attendees and guests. You are invited to ask questions. This is not the right moment for speeches or personal statements, please use autograph sessions for that.
Before each panel, attendees wishing to ask a question will be asked to raise their hands. Our staff will then randomly distribute “question tickets.” We cannot guarantee that all selected participants will have time to ask their question.
Questions will be reviewed by a member of our team.
For Nell’s panel, questions were pre-approved, and selected participants have been or will be contacted directly by email.
Please note that, for contractual reasons, filming panels is strictly prohibited. Photos without flash are allowed.
🍔 Food & beverages 🍔
The food court is operated by an external provider from the Parc des Expositions. We worked with them to offer a Stranger Things-inspired experience that is as immersive as possible. However, pricing is determined solely by the provider.
You will find burgers, pizzas, and corn dogs, as well as waffles, donuts, drinks, and ice cream.
📷✍️ Extras ✍️📷
PHOTO OPS
Please keep poses simple and avoid accessories. If you would like to show a pose to the guest, we recommend printing it. We cannot guarantee that your chosen pose will be accepted. Final approval is at the discretion of the guest and their agent.
If you have multiple photos with the same guest on the same day, plan your poses in advance.
If you are unhappy with your appearance in the photo, it will not be retaken. Only technical issues (closed eyes, glare, etc.) will be considered.
Photo printing
Photos will be printed instantly and handed to you before leaving the studio.
A digital HD version will also be available for purchase via the QR code on your photo sleeve.
Children under 12 may be accompanied by an adult (who will not appear in the photo), upon presentation of the child’s ID.
Large format reprints
Photos are printed in A5 format for immediate delivery. A vendor will offer A4 reprints. As this is an external service, you must purchase the digital version beforehand.
AUTOGRAPHS
To facilitate signing, please prepare your name clearly written on a post-it. Some guests may not personalize autographs. Even though it is not our preference, we must comply with this requirement.
📸 Agent-approved autograph items will be available for €5 each at the extras booth. They will only be available at this booth and not at the autograph tables. Any other items may be refused.
An official collector booklet will also be available for purchase at the extras shop for €20. In A4 format and in limited quantities, it’s the perfect keepsake to capture your weekend. You’ll be able to collect autographs, write messages to each other, and preserve your memories.
Gifts
Gifts can only be given to guests during autograph sessions.
MEET & GREET
Please arrive at the Meeting Point 15 minutes before your session.
⚠️ Phones are strictly prohibited during extras. They must remain in your bag or with someone else. No phones in hands or pockets. Failure to comply may result in immediate and permanent exclusion without refund.
