Sounds like fun. Reminds me of the Pandemic LARP; I'd play.

Players would be trying to bump off specific targets covertly, without anyone else nearby becoming aware that anything out-of-the-ordinary had happened. Slipping someone a note "bomb", pinning a colored "poison dot" to their badge, things along those lines. Players who made a spectacle of their assassination attempt would have the "kill" nullified.

Would it be worth opening a discussion about this with rules set up to minimize disruption among the convention? I've got a rule-set in mind that should help keep the disruption to a minimum, and absolutely prevent kids running through the halls (any more than they already do, anyway).
