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
