Convention Best Practices & Safety Guide

Whether you're attending your first furry convention or your fifteenth, a little preparation goes a long way toward ensuring a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Meeting Online Friends In Person

The furry fandom is welcoming and inclusive, but standard internet safety practices still apply when meeting people for the first time.

Meet in Public Areas First

For first-time meetups, choose public convention spaces such as the lobby, registration area, dealers' den, or other populated locations.

Use the Buddy System

If you're heading off-site for food, exploring the city, or spending time with people you've only recently met, consider bringing a trusted friend along.

Share Your Location

Using services such as Find My, Google Location Sharing, or Life360 can help ensure someone you trust knows where you are throughout the convention.

Room Sharing & Hotel Etiquette

Sharing hotel rooms is common at conventions and can significantly reduce costs, but clear communication and boundaries are important.

Ensure You're Registered

If you are staying in a room, make sure your legal name is listed with the hotel. This can prevent complications involving room access, emergencies, or disputes.

Establish Expectations Early

Discuss room policies before arrival, including:

• Quiet hours

• Sleeping arrangements

• Guests and visitors

• Alcohol consumption

• Shared bathroom schedules

• Personal belongings and privacy

Exercise Caution at Room Parties

Private gatherings can be fun, but they do not have official convention security present.

• Keep beverages within sight.

• Avoid accepting open drinks from strangers.

• Leave immediately if a situation feels unsafe or uncomfortable.

• Trust your instincts.

Fursuiting & Consent

Costume Is Not Consent

Always ask before hugging, touching, petting, or taking photos of a fursuiter.

Respect the Suit

Many fursuits are custom-made and expensive. Avoid pulling tails, wings, ears, or other costume components.

Respect Boundaries

If someone declines interaction or requests personal space, respect their decision immediately.

Convention & Hotel Safety

Know Where To Find Help

Become familiar with convention operations, security staff, and any designated safety teams. If you experience a problem or witness misconduct, report it promptly.

Secure Your Belongings

Keep badges, wallets, phones, keys, and other valuables on your person or secured in your hotel room.

Follow the 6-2-1 Rule

Conventions are marathons, not sprints.

• 6 hours of sleep

• 2 full meals

• 1 shower every day

Taking care of yourself helps ensure you remain healthy, alert, and able to enjoy the entire weekend.
