Safer Spaces/Affinity Spaces & The Oasis at LAcon V
At LAcon V, we want everyone to feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. Our Safer Spaces/Affinity Spaces are here to give you a place to rest, connect, and be yourself during the convention. You’re welcome to bring in individual snacks (on a per person basis, no buffets or dinner parties!), and these spaces are located near food options for your convenience.

The Oasis
The Oasis is a calm, welcoming place where you can rest and recharge at your own pace. You don’t have to talk to anyone unless you want to. You’ll find simple activities like coloring, short readings, and self-care supplies. If you need something, just ask—we’re here to help.
All are welcome.
