Dealers Den Guidelines

What is the Dealer’s Den?

The Dealer’s Den is a room within Melbourne Furry Convention 2025 where you will be able to purchase furry related merchandise from our vetted dealers. You are able to see all of the dealers that we have curated for this year via this link: https://melbfurcon.com/dealers-den/ 

During Saturday, for the last hour of the Den we will provide a low sensory experience for attendees.. This means we will turn off half the lights and enforce a low volume. During this time it is expected that dealers will turn down or turn off any strong LED lights they have on their booth and to maintain a low speaking voice. Attendees are also expected to respect noise and lighting levels.

Dealer’s Den Content Rating

All of our Dealers’ public facing merchandise are to adhere to an M rating.. Some Dealers may hold MA15+ or higher material in a closed folder available by request only and will require attendees to show their con badges to ensure they are over 18. If a booth is found to publicly display or provide MA15+ or higher items without correct protocol, staff will enforce the removal of the offending products from display.. Attendees are also to adhere to similar ratings with their attire and behaviours.

If you see anyone acting inappropriately or if material inside the Denmakes you uncomfortable,please let the Dealer’s Den staff table know on the day or reach out via Telegram with a request for Dealer’s Den staff.
