Does Capricon Sell Its Attendee Email List?
No—official Capricon attendee badge registries are private, and third-party emails offering "Capricon attendee spreadsheets" are scams. Neither ISFiC (Illinois Science Fiction in Chicago) nor The Westin O'Hare sells raw attendee email lists to outside brokers.
