Security and Safety

We are making every effort to create a fun, safe and secure environment on the Dfest festival grounds. On-site security will be provided through a combination of the Tulsa Police Department and a private security company. Additionally, emergency medical staff will be available onsite by the Tulsa Fire Department, EMSA, Med tents, Mist Cooling Tents, and First Aid responders at Dfest.

Although the conference is during the day inside at the Crowne Plaza hotel and the festival gates open at 4pm and the festival is during the hours of 6pm - 2am, it still gets HOT in Oklahoma in July. Please keep yourself hydrated. We have plenty of vendor areas where we have reasonably priced water and softdrinks available. We also have potable water at our med tents and cooling mist tents in case you do become overheated. Please watch for signs of over-exposure to heat and sun, dizziness and fatigue. If you feel overheated, please find a Dfest volunteer or first aid responder and they'll help you get medical attention at one of our med tents.

Please be respectful of our Dfest venues, any type of vandalism will not be tolerated at Dfest. We want everyone to have a great time. So, keep in mind, if we feel anyone is violating this guideline and/or interfering with other guests, volunteers, or venue staffing, we have every right to eject you from the event and revoke your all-event badge and/or your festival wristband, as they are property of Dfest.

We encourage everyone to please drink responsibly and also have a designated driver in your group. If you plan to drink heavily at Dfest, you should just book a hotel room at the Crowne Plaza to make your festival experience more enjoyable. If you have had too much to drink and don't have a designated driver, then please call a cab. Cab listings and contact numbers will be in the festival guide.

We work to insure that DiverSAFEST is the safest festival it can possibly be.
