Furries and Geocaching - The worldwide scavenger hunt hidden in plain sight!
Saturday July 5, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT
DLCC 333
Do YOU like treasure hunting? Traveling? Puzzles? Helping out the environment? Little trinkets? Or discovering secrets hidden ALL AROUND US that a majority of the population has NO IDEA EVEN EXISTS? Then YOU need to learn about the nearly 25 year old GPS game that takes place in almost every country across the globe!

Come learn about the amazing outdoor hobby that is Geocaching and meet other furries in geocaching! Come listen to Kidd explain what the hobby is, why it's perfectly made for furries, and hear her share some of her craziest cache adventures. Afterwards, come socialize with other furs, exchange accounts (and stickers), log trackables, and win some extra goodies for those who attend!

At the end of the event we will be handing out attendance goodies, take a group photo, and the presentation will be uploaded here! I'm incredibly excited to see everyone there!

Furries? In my Art Gallery? (It's more likely than you think...)
Saturday July 5, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
DLCC 316
There is a new generation of artists in the furry community – wildly experimental, in conversation with both the fandom and the art world, and critically engaged with the queer possibilities of lives lived in-between the real and the virtual. We’ve invited these artists back to our room, for a group experience that is wholly our own. “Room Party” is an exhibition of work by over 50 contemporary furry artists, running June 6th – July 18th July at Bunker Projects in Pittsburgh. Join the curators (Lane Linecum, Brett Hanover, Paul Peng, and Cass Dickenson) and artists (panel participants TBD) for a look behind the scenes at the development of this exciting show! What does it take to put on a large-scale group art show? What happens when furries invade the fine art world? What’s next for furry art, and why does it matter now? Why is there a pile of plushies in the white cube? All your artsy-fartsy questions will be answered!

Self-Expression and Authenticity in the Furry Fandom
Saturday July 5, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
DLCC 333
Have you ever felt like being around others is awkward because you have to 'play a role' that isn't you? Have you ever felt like some part(s) of you that are longing to be expressed, but can't safely be shown to others? Have you felt 'wrong' or 'broken' in your body, identity, or sense of self? This is a panel about finding authenticity. It will discuss ways to do this, through several lenses common in the fandom, such as gender, neurodivergence, and disability. It is hoped that this panel will spark a discussion about finding acceptance from both others and oneself, and inspire us to be better at both seeking support and providing it for others. Through this, it is hoped that we can do better as a fandom, both for all the diverse people within it and for ourselves.

In this panel, we'll be challenging normative relationship paradigms and exploring healthier ways to approach various types of connection with others, centered around freedom, authenticity, and respect. Though I'll be speaking from a primarily non-monogamous perspective, the content will be relevant to all relationship dynamics, including non-romantic ones. Topics may include communication, handling feelings and needs, expectations, and personal autonomy. Audience questions and input encouraged!

85 years at Chicon, the 2nd Worldcon in 1940, a female costume maker known by the alias Morojo opened up her room, 689 in the Hotel Chicagoan, as a changing room for the first Costume Masquerade. Morojo’s room would be considered the first Con Suite and Cosplay Lounge. 50 years later these elements would evolve into the Headless Lounge and Fursuit Parade at the first furry cons. Join us for a 85 year long journey from the first fan conventions to the modern cons to today, and show how we are all part of one larger fandom family.
