I mean..a totally relaxing place where the rooms certainly maintain order and you won't have to defend yourself from anything at all. That sound definitely wasn't the door locking you all in."

So you're a beginner interested in Amateur Radio... or maybe you're a long-time operator who wants to meet fellow furries in the field... or perhaps you fall somewhere in the middle? Ask yourself, do you want to get a chance to ask those burning technical questions to a panel of long-time radio operators and examiners? Want to get hands-on and a chance to handle various types of Amateur Radio gear and technology? No matter where you are on the experience spectrum, if you answered yes to the above questions, then you should come out to our Ham Furs Amateur Radio Q&A Session at Anthrocon! Based on the great audience questions we had at last year's meet-and-greet panel, we've slightly restructured our panel this year to offer an official Q&A session in addition to show-and-tell. Our team of Volunteer Examiners will be on hand before the FCC Amateur Radio Exam to answer your questions about anything from basics of Radio Frequency operations, to specific how-to for today's technology. Our panel has a combined 40+ years of RF, Engineering, and IT/Cybersecurity experience to draw on, and is happy to talk about our nerdiest hobby. If you have specific or very technical questions you'd like to have answered during the panel, please feel free to send them to sdwolf@sdwolf.com so our panelists can prepare an answer.

Thursday July 3, 2025 9:00pm - 10:30pm EDT

Everyone bring their own sketchbook, art supplies of their choosing, and reference of their own characters. Everyone will take turns swapping the sketchbooks around and drawing the sketchbook owner's characters in it, they may take as much time as they need and it’s just a fun little way for everyone to draw and for people to get out of their characters, it’s quite relaxing. This is a SFW Swap so if your sketchbook has lewd drawings in it or anything not safe for work, it is required that you cover it either with a sticky note or something of your choosing.

Friday July 4, 2025 10:30am - 12:30pm EDT

DLCC 335

You are already aware of the history of the furry fandom, but when, how and why did furries get to be SO QUEER? In this talk, Arrkay from the award winning video series "Culturally F'd" takes a second look into the queer origins of the furry fandom. Our journey takes us through homophobia fueled flame wars, a convention described as a "pride parade on acid", all the way to litterboxes in classrooms. Together we'll peer into the past of queer and trans furry artists, marches, frolics and raves, and even some pre-fandom stuff just for fun.

A century has passed since the events in Greece and Atlantis is abuzz with new rumors. A fleet of ships vanished during a storm weeks ago, carrying cargo of unknown origin. Recently, fishermen claim to have seen a strange glow beneath the waves, and whispers of a curse have begun to spread. You are part of an expedition, ordered by Poseidon to investigate the wreck and recover what remains of its cargo. But as you prepare to swim into the depths, you begin to wonder: What really happened to The Fleet and why do the fishermen refuse to sail near the site?

📋 Fursuit Parade Signup - Friday 📋

Friday July 4, 2025 3:00pm - 9:00pm EDT

DLCC 309

The number of participants in the parade will be limited, and as such, all participants must be pre-approved. You must either wear or bring the costume that you intend to wear in the parade, or alternatively a photo that shows all elements of the costume, to the registration point outside of Room 309 on Friday between 3 pm and 9 pm, or on Saturday from 9 am until 12 pm. We cannot register any participants after 12 pm on Saturday.

Parade Rules

All participants must have a costume that is “anthropomorphic” in nature. The parade is not for general cosplay. (i.e. the addition of ears to existing costume armor does not qualify for participation in the parade.)
Full-body fursuits are encouraged. Partial fursuits must incorporate additional elements in addition to a head, hands, and (optional) tail (these at the wearer’s discretion based upon their interpretation of the species/character). Examples include: footpaws, sleeves or leggings, or other costume features that define the character. No human skin should be showing. All clothing and costume elements must conform to the Anthrocon Standards of Conduct.
Handlers will be permitted to assist with the donning and preparation of a costume in the staging area; however, handlers will not be permitted to walk in the parade. Exceptions will be made for handlers who are assisting performers with mobility challenges and participants under the age of 13 who need a parent or guardian to accompany them.
Due to the nature of the parade lineup area, the presence of escalators on the parade route, and other aspects of the parade, Anthrocon strongly recommends that fursuiters whose costume design requires a handler (i.e. an oversized or overly bulky suit) should opt to participate in the Block Party as an alternative to the parade.
Even if a costume has been pre-approved, any costume that is determined not to meet these standards at parade time will not be allowed to participate.
Any elements that are in violation of our standards of contact (examples: tactical gear, fetish wear, etc.) are not permitted in the parade. Individuals causing disruption or interference with parade operations may be refused participation as well as face revocation of convention membership.
All fursuiters must hydrate before the fursuit parade. It’s for your own safety!
No stopping in the parade route - we require fursuiters to continue moving in the parade except in case of emergency. Staff and volunteers are positioned along the route should you require assistance.
Flags affixed to flagpoles are not allowed. Flags that are hand carried or worn (such as a cape) that abide by our Standards of Conduct are allowed.
People with ADA accessibility needs or young children are permitted handlers.
No photography or video is allowed inside the lineup area. This includes selfies whether handheld or on selfie-stick.

We understand that these changes may not be universally popular and we want our attendees to know that these decisions were not made lightly. As both the convention and parade reach unprecedented levels of attendance and participation, it has become necessary to implement these new rules to keep the parade safe for all attendees. We are confident that the Fursuit Parade and Block Party will continue to provide a unique and wonderful experience for Anthrocon attendees and Pittsburgh citizens alike.

Talk the Talk - All About Dialogue

Friday July 4, 2025 6:00pm - 7:00pm EDT

DLCC 310-311

Everyone has a particular way of talking. Even characters from almost the exact same backgrounds may develop their own idioms, grammar patterns, and unique forms of dialogue. How a character talks can reveal so much about them, and we'll discuss how to structure everything from slice of life conversations to villainous monologues in your story.

Come to listen, talk, show off your favorite moves. I'll bring my gear.

Join us for an intermediate level puppet fabrication workshop making fun dancing BIRD marionettes!

This workshop requires fine motor skills as we'll be working with fishing line and knot tying. All children need to work with an adult guardian, as this puppet takes a bit of coordination to finish. Once we've finished our marionettes we'll put them through their paces in a funky Puppet Dance Party!

📋 Fursuit Parade Signup - Saturday 📋

Saturday July 5, 2025 9:00am - 12:00pm EDT

DLCC 309

All participants must have a costume that is “anthropomorphic” in nature. The parade is not for general cosplay. (i.e. the addition of ears to existing costume armor does not qualify for participation in the parade.)
Full-body fursuits are encouraged. Partial fursuits must incorporate additional elements in addition to a head, hands, and (optional) tail (these at the wearer’s discretion based upon their interpretation of the species/character). Examples include: footpaws, sleeves or leggings, or other costume features that define the character. No human skin should be showing. All clothing and costume elements must conform to the Anthrocon Standards of Conduct.
Handlers will be permitted to assist with the donning and preparation of a costume in the staging area; however, handlers will not be permitted to walk in the parade. Exceptions will be made for handlers who are assisting performers with mobility challenges and participants under the age of 13 who need a parent or guardian to accompany them.
Due to the nature of the parade lineup area, the presence of escalators on the parade route, and other aspects of the parade, Anthrocon strongly recommends that fursuiters whose costume design requires a handler (i.e. an oversized or overly bulky suit) should opt to participate in the Block Party as an alternative to the parade.
Even if a costume has been pre-approved, any costume that is determined not to meet these standards at parade time will not be allowed to participate.
Any elements that are in violation of our standards of contact (examples: tactical gear, fetish wear, etc.) are not permitted in the parade. Individuals causing disruption or interference with parade operations may be refused participation as well as face revocation of convention membership.
All fursuiters must hydrate before the fursuit parade. It’s for your own safety!
No stopping in the parade route - we require fursuiters to continue moving in the parade except in case of emergency. Staff and volunteers are positioned along the route should you require assistance.
Flags affixed to flagpoles are not allowed. Flags that are hand carried or worn (such as a cape) that abide by our Standards of Conduct are allowed.
People with ADA accessibility needs or young children are permitted handlers.
No photography or video is allowed inside the lineup area. This includes selfies whether handheld or on selfie-stick.

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.

Saturday July 5, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT

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!

Exploring Identities Through Furry

Saturday July 5, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm EDT

DLCC 316

Identities are a huge part of how we relate to ourselves and others, as well as a form of self-expression. The furry community has always been a place where people can explore different aspects of their identity, whether that’s gender, sexuality, or other facets of self. In this panel, we’ll talk about how people explore their identities through their fursona(s) and the community, and take a deeper look at the concept of identity as a whole in connecting to people and meeting our needs.

Healthy Fursuiting

Saturday July 5, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm EDT

DLCC 335

Most of us have heard about how to care for our fursuits, but what about the person inside of the fursuit? Fursuiting can involve activities that increase our internal temperature, increase our heart rate, and put our bodies under a lot of stress. But things you can do before, during, and after fursuiting can help you to fursuit longer, recover faster, and get back out in your fluffy carpet sooner. They say that fursuiting is cardio, and like cardio we can make fursuiting easier and more fun by following precautions and preparing ourselves. Whether you're a newbie or someone who's been suiting for a while, come and learn how to better take care of what's under the colorful carpet of fur! Got your own experiences and recovery methods? Come share them!

Tying The Knot - Basic Rope Rigging for Furries

Sunday July 6, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT

DLCC 317-318

Believe it or not, this is a 100% Safe-For-Work panel... In fact, safety while working is the bottom line when it comes to this topic! This interactive panel is for all those who want to learn the absolute basics of ropes, rigging, and the various types of rope and equipment used in the fire/rescue services.

We'll be examining rope access equipment and basics from an absolute beginner perspective, including: Discussing basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needed for rope rigging; Discussing the various types of rope/webbing, their uses, and safety considerations; Practicing how to properly tie some of the basic knots (figure 8, overhand, water knot) used in the fire service; Demonstrating how ropes can be used to construct basic mechanical advantage haul systems to move a load from one point to another; and having an opportunity to examine, handle, and ask questions about equipment used by rope technicians, tower climbers, firefighters, and other rope access personnel.

Attendees are welcome to come and only observe, however any attendee who handles equipment or participates will be required to don appropriate provided PPE (Gloves, Safety Glasses). While not required, long sleeves and pants are encouraged. Disclaimer: This panel is NOT sufficient training to attempt low, intermediate, or high angle rope work or to construct haul systems for overhead/life-safety lifting. Mastering these techniques requires specific training. Work with a professional to confirm your ability to perform these techniques safely and independently before attempting them unsupervised. Specific questions for the panelists can be directed to sdwolf@sdwolf.com prior to the convention.

wolfears

Sunday July 6, 2025 5:30pm - 6:30pm EDT

Westin - Allegheny Ballroom

wolfears (stylized all lowercase) is the solo project of independent DIY musician ceej wolf (they/she/it). Started in 2024, ceej began to play room shows at furry conventions with just an acoustic guitar and some twee pop tunes. Only a year later, they released their debut record “WOLFPACK” as well as an EP “BE KIND REWIND”. A proud therian, the core of their songs relate to dissatisfaction with humanity, transgender dysphoria and queer joy. From post-punk to indietronica, wolfears covers all the bases. With this new four-piece live band lineup, they’ll be playing songs from their earlier work as well as new arrangements from “WOLFPACK”. You can check out wolfears online at wolfears.net as well as Bluesky.
