After going to the MFF Board meeting, there are a couple of things I learned. The first is the one thing a lot of people complain about and that is the MFF room block. Generally they complain there is not enough rooms. But wait until you read this, it seems the Hyatt wanted MFF to have more rooms, but at a higher price the rooms are going to normally during the con. Like usual they sold out in 5 minutes.

That a lot of the staff are perfectionists. They take on more than 1 job, just to make sure everything is perfect. The board members all had high praise for all their heard work.

Speaking of hotels, the room block may not be at the Hyatt next year. It seems the board has already gotten offers from other hotels offering both more rooms and at a cheaper price.

The Zootopia Event turned out so great for them, they plan on doing more of these. WAY to go!!!

I went to a MFF Board meeting and here is what I heard.

MFF Officially explains in to The Donald E. Stevens Convention Center this year. How much space they are going use is still to be determined. What brought this on was both a record number of dealers (The largest in MFF history), and the crowd in the dealers area.

NEW and Better Fans for the Fursuit Lounge. Even the board members were complaining about the box fans they had been using.

The Fursuit Dance Competition gets a much larger area this year. Presumable it will be in the convention center.

There will be a much larger 2nd stage

Lastly starting in 2017 there will be a new top sponsor tier. Which will include a concierge, and direct customer service to the con staff. As well as a service when taking the Hyatt bus, where you not only get your room. But your con registration.

The sponsors get a cash bar this year
