Thursday July 3, 2025 5:00pm - 6:00pm EDT

"Do you spend your time outside the fandom in a clinic, ambulance, or hospital? Looking to meet other furries who also work in healthcare? Swing on by and and meet some of the other creatures you may find at a doctor's office near you! From techs to docs, all healthcare workers are welcome to come and mingle. We also encourage anyone interested in pursuing a medical field to stop in and ask questions!

No medical advice should be offered or requested by attendees. Any health concerns should be directed to convention medical staff or emergency services."

Tail Lover's Intervention - It's okay to love tails!

Friday July 4, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT

Do you love tails? Do you think having one would feel really good? Maybe a bit too much?

Then we might need to have an intervention...about how that is completely okay!

Hosted at MFF to great success the tail panel is here again with a similar format!

This wonderful appendage is a major part of furry, but sometimes I don't see it get the attention it deserves! We will start with a short presentation where I - Mika_TailLover, will go over the reasons I love tails, as well as some of the reasons I see others love tails. Then we pass the mic to you in the audience to come up and tell us all about why you love tails!

The panel will end with a meet and greet where we will all say hi and talk about how amazing tails are.

Let's show some appreciation to a unique appendage almost every fursona has!

Metro NYC Furries/Bronies Meet ‘n Greet

Friday July 4, 2025 4:00pm - 5:00pm EDT

To paraphrase the opening of a 1950s TV series set in New York, “there are eight million furries in the Naked City.” Well, maybe not quite, but if you live in one of New York City’s five boroughs or its nearby suburbs (Long Island, Westchester or New Jersey) you’re one of the hundreds (if not thousands!) of furries and bronies in the region—most likely including quite a few close to where you live. Come by and make new friends or catch up with folks you haven’t seen in a while!

Shedding Inhibitions: A Guide to Public Fursuiting

Friday July 4, 2025 7:00pm - 8:00pm EDT

So you own a fursuit, know how to care for it and are having a blast with it at conventions? Great! Perhaps you've also considered bringing your fursona out into everyday areas, but the idea makes you uneasy, uncertain or insecure. This is very common, and understandably so - its a big step!

I'm Ferdinand, a ferret with fifteen years of public fursuiting under my belt, and I'd like to pass my experience and hard-won nuggets of knowledge down to you. In this informative panel, learn the important differences between con suiting and public suiting, as well as:

- where to go and not to go
- what to bring
- proper etiquette with the general public
- when to interact (and when to steer clear!)
- keeping your suit safe

...and more!

I hope you'll join me, and learn if public fursuiting is right for you!
