Anthrocon 2023: June Updates - It's Nearly Here!

Now that the clock’s winding down, we’re now a couple of weeks away from Anthrocon 2023! It’s time for the final Newsletter before the convention, so let’s get started on Anthrocon’s June Newsletter. Make sure you’ve got all the important last-minute information you need by reading below, or listening to the audio version by Father Harvest and Manick.

REGISTRATION

Online pre-registration has now ended, and those that have not yet registered but are looking to attend must buy a registration on-site.

All attendees must remember to bring their necessary documentation including government-issued photo ID and COVID-19 documentation (specifics of which can be found on our COVID-19 Policy page). For those under 18 years of age, please have your minor consent form also completed and brought to the convention. More details and forms can be found on our Registration page.

Registration pick up times have been added to our online schedule, starting Thursday June 29th at noon for all online pre-registrations and 2pm for at-convention registrations, and starting at 9am for all other days of the convention.

HOTELS and shuttles

Hotels should be sending confirmation emails to all attendees with bookings made through our booking partners, Orchid Events. This process will be happening until latest June 20th, so if you haven’t received the confirmation email from the hotel you’re staying at, please be patient. If you have any questions about changing details about your reservation before you get the confirmation email from your hotel, please contact Orchid at [email protected].

Reminder that hotel shuttle buses will be operating during all convention days, with maps and details available on our At The Con page.

Events and Panels

Our full online schedule is now online through Sched! You can either access the online schedule through their website at anthrocon.sched.com or by downloading the Sched app and searching “Anthrocon 2023”. It’s a handy way to find out what’s happening around the convention, in addition to operating hours of things like Registration, Dealers Den, Art Show and more.

Under the “Events” category on our website, other information can be found about key events such as River Cruises, Nightly Dances, and more. For those that are looking to submit an online audition for the Fursuit Dance Competition and Floor Wars, the deadlines are coming up soon!

Dealers and Artists

Both the Dealers Room and Artists Alley lists have been released! You can find out which of your favorite vendors and artists will be at Anthrocon by visiting the Dealers Room and Artists Alley pages respectively. Our Art Show is also now completely full, and only waitlist spots are available - any requests for information or waitlist can be sent to [email protected].

Volunteering

If you’ve already signed up to volunteer at the convention, we’ll be contacting people leading up and at the convention based on department needs and skillsets. If this sounds up your alley, we’d love to have you sign up using the form on our Volunteer page.

Anthrocon Daily Report
