Major Changes Coming to Anthrocon

Ahmar Wolf

Summary of key points

  • Attendance numbers for Anthrocon 2025 will be monitored and, if necessary, will be capped should the number exceed the acceptable safety standards for our venue and our operations. Any confirmed registration cap will be announced in advance of pre-registration closure.
  • Thursday Registration will be pre-registration pick up only; no Thursday passes will be available, and on-site registration will start on the Friday of the event
  • Hotel Shuttles are being improved to accommodate wheelchair/ADA needs on all buses, rather than an on-call bus
  • The Fursuit Parade will be exploring a limit to participants, and standards for participation to help manage the parade safely (more details to be announced at a later date)

Arizona Fur Con Will Continue

from their official site

Arizona Fur Con (AFC), the cherished celebration of creativity and community, is back! MPE is thrilled to announce that through the passion and dedication of the Arizona Fur Con community, AFC will continue to thrive beyond its previously announced final year.

Earlier this year, MPE communicated the difficult decision to close the doors on Arizona Fur Con due to rising costs and personal health considerations of the primary organizer. However, the response from the community was overwhelming, with many expressing interests in keeping the spirit of AFC alive.

In response to this outpouring of support, a dedicated group from within the community has offered to establish a community-driven board to manage and run the event annually. This diverse and enthusiastic team will ensure that AFC remains a vibrant celebration of creativity, camaraderie, and community spirit.

MPE will continue to play a vital role in Arizona Fur Con’s future by assisting with venue negotiations, event equipment provision, and financial support, ensuring a seamless transition and a successful event year after year.

In addition to these exciting changes, AFC will be held at a new location that offers more favorable rental costs and improved hotel accommodations, enhancing the overall experience for attendees.

“We are absolutely delighted to see Arizona Fur Con continue as a community-driven event,” said Greg Fennell at MPE. “The community’s passion and dedication have been truly inspiring, and we are committed to supporting their vision to ensure AFC remains a highlight of the year for many.”

Look for further updates in the coming weeks as we share more details about the location, dates, and exciting plans for the upcoming Arizona Fur Con.

Join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter for AFC. We look forward to celebrating imagination and friendships with everyone in the community.
