Welcome and congratulations! If you’re wondering what you should know, there is a ‘My First Furcon’ panel happening on Friday that will introduce you to some concepts that will help you have a happy, healthy, and safe con experience.
If you can’t make it to the panel, don’t fret! Here is a bite sized version that should hopefully fit on your mobile device:
Follow the 621 Rule: Every day you should make sure you get at least 6 hours of sleep, 2 meals, and 1 shower. Even more is better!
Follow the Code of Conduct
Respect attendees, dealers, and staff. This includes things like: asking for permission before going in for a hug or touching someone’s tail/ears, giving people space or peace and quiet if they need it, and taking care of your own hygiene to ensure that the con space remains pleasant for everyone.
Put yourself out there! Introduce yourself, and ask people questions about their interests or fursona. If you’re looking for attendees with similar interests, try attending a panel or workshop, or drop a message in the Telegram chat. Even con staff and volunteers might be happy to chat if they’re not busy with something.
Have fun!
MFC is open to people of all ages. However, minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at all times.
Yes, minors must have their parent or legal guardian within sight at all times during MFC. If a minor is found unsupervised, they may be asked to leave the event.
Yes. If you are being accompanied by a guardian, they will also need to have their own ticket in order to enter the ticketed areas of the convention.
During the opening hours of the convention, staff will be in and around the con area. Additionally, the registration desk will remain staffed throughout the day, including during lunch breaks and the fursuit walk.
This year photos will be done on a walk-in basis. Our photography team will be happy to discuss any needs and wants beforehand.
Just rock up in your suit ready to play!
In some cases, the rooms will need to be rearranged before a panel or workshop begins. For safety, we’d like to request that attendees do not enter rooms that do not currently have events scheduled in them.
You may not enter the ticketed areas of the event during opening hours without having registration. These areas include the Dealer’s Den, Function Hall, Headless Lounge, and Photo Room.
Unfortunately, we are unable to sell any tickets on the day.
Hotel bookings will be available at 5:00 PM on Sunday, 29th September 2024.
The deposit is $200 if you are using a credit card, or $400 if using a debit card or cash. If there is no significant damage to your room, the deposit will be refunded approximately one week after MFC.
Yes, booking through Novotel requires upfront payment for the entire duration of your stay. We recommend budgeting accordingly.
The hotel offers secure underground parking for $10 per day for all attendees.
Not at all! While staying at the hotel can enhance your experience, it’s not required to attend MFC. Local furs or those with alternative accommodation can still fully participate.
No, you do not need to stay within the convention room block if you have hotel room requirements outside what the block offers (accessible rooms, different room configurations, etc.). We recommend contacting the hotel directly with these enquiries.
Yes, the hotel offers free WiFi in the lobby, guest rooms, and event spaces.
No, the hotel does not allow fixed signage on room doors. However, door hangers similar in size to the hotel’s “Do Not Disturb” signs are permitted.
