To get one, simply login to the registration system, and click the 'Fursuit Badges' link on the right-side menu.
You'll be able to pickup your badge at the convention when you go to registration!

(Note: Fursuit badges are optional, they are not a requirement for fursuiting at ConFuzzled).

Hey you! Yeah you! Planning on submitting something to our auction? Our pre-reg system for auction pieces will be going live midday (UK Time) on Saturday 16th February! (It will remain open through to midday on the 11th May). The link will go live here: https://goo.gl/forms/mkkCHeex7Se6JIhx2

Remember, the auction is an opportunity to sell all manner of items, including art, books, even whole fursuits! The auction has both a SFW and adult section, so if you’ve something naughty … or nice… we want it!

Pre-registration is a huge help for us, and it significantly reduces the amount of waiting around when you actually bring your items to the showroom - it just makes everything faster!

Not in a position to pre-register? That’s OK, we will be taking at-the-door submissions, but we strongly encourage everyone who can pre-register to do so.

For now, keep working on your items, and read up more about the auction (including the prohibited items, Ts & Cs etc) on our webpage here: https://2019.confuzzled.org.uk/whats-on/art-show/

Tabletop game GM signups now open!

Would you like to run a tabletop RPG at Confuzzled 2019? We are looking for GMs to run games during the con and are taking submissions. Fill in the form linked below to submit your game!

Any system is welcome, and games may be any theme or genre, though if you can do something based on Spying or secret agents then even better!

Are you reasonably fit?
Do you like putting things in vans and taking them out again?
Do you like wearing high visibility clothing?
Do you want to help the convention whilst still having time to relax during it?
Are you available to help from Wednesday 22nd to Wednesday 29th May?

If the answer to all of these questions is yes, you may be just the person we're looking for!

Falling within the realm of Support Services for the convention, Strike Force is primarily responsible for loading and unloading convention equipment at our storage locations and the venue and assisting other teams with initial setup of the event spaces. As such, the majority
of our work takes place before Opening Ceremonies and after Closing Ceremonies, leaving the rest of the convention free for you to relax.

We’ll provide the high visibility vests and gloves, but you’ll need to provide your own sturdy shoes or boots (safety toe caps are optional) and be reasonably fit. It’s not like competing in a marathon, but you will be on your feet for most of the day and some of the equipment weighs in excess of 20kg (though we ensure at least two members of the team are involved in lifting the heavier items).

If you’re interested in joining the team, fill out the application form and make sure to check the “Strike Force” box.

NB: The busiest days for Strike Force are Wednesday and Thursday before the convention starts and Tuesday and Wednesday once it finishes, so please ensure you take this into consideration when applying. The openings are to assist the convention as a volunteer, with the possibility to move to an official 'crew' position next year.

We are now able to share with you the registration close dates for this year. Please read the below.

RESIDENTIAL registration will close 13th April at 7PM UK Time.

FINAL/FULL registration (non-residential & day-tickets) close will be 4th May at 7PM UK Time.

The RESIDENTIAL closing deadline marks your last chance to apply for a room at the convention. At the current time, all remaining room types are nearly sold out. As such, all registrations are being handled one by one systematically. Our registration team will contact you either way if they are, or are not able to allocate a room for you. This deadline also marks the last point at which you can make changes to your rooming arrangements (subject to our usual terms on such changes and availability) such as the addition of early arrival or late departure days.

The RESIDENTIAL closing is also your final opportunity to upgrade to our 'Sponsor' and 'Super Sponsor' tiers. This is to allow our team sufficient time for the production of all those wonderful goodies! The ability to upgrade to our 'Plus' tier will remain available until full registration closure.

The FINAL/FULL registration closing deadline marks your last chance to grab a non-residential registration, or day-tickets. As a reminder, if you want a day-ticket, you will need to register 'attending-only/non-residential', but then contact registration@confuzzled.org.uk to have your registration converted. Please make sure you note which day(s) you wish to attend.

The FINAL/FULL registration closing deadline is also the last opportunity for you to upgrade your registration to our 'Plus' tier as mentioned above. In addition this is the last date for any changes to your registration including uploading a badge picture or fursuit badge picture. Please make sure you accomplish this prior to this deadline, as we cannot make changes to your badge or create you a fursuit badge at the convention, no exceptions.

In addition, we would also like to remind everyone that as the convention is now rapidly approaching, please keep in mind that you must have valid/in-date and acceptable identification to register at the convention. You can find our acceptable ID policy at the following link: https://2019.confuzzled.org.uk/attending/faqs/

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact registration@confuzzled.org.uk

Residential Registration is now closed (other reg types still open!)

We recently advised that residential registration would close on 13th April, however we are today announcing that this has closed early.

Why the early close? The reality is that we have completely exhausted our available rooms, including those in the overflow hotel, and no further room block expansions will be granted in the future. As such we have closed residential registration in our registration system. Additionally, our room waiting lists are also now closed. If you're still on one, the Registration team will be contacting you shortly.

For people with existing Residential Registrations, the 13th of April is still the last date you can make changes. This includes things like adding Early Arrival or Late Departure, and upgrading to Sponsor or Super-Sponsor. Although certain changes such as outright cancellations are no longer an option, you may still sell on/transfer your ticket until April 13th at 1900 UK time. You can request changes and transfers by emailing registration@confuzzled.org.uk.

So, what are your choices now if you’ve not yet registered? Well, you can still register Attending Only, or for Day Tickets until 1900 UK time on Saturday the 4th of May! As a reminder, if you’d like a Day Ticket; please register for Attending Only, put in the comments which day(s) you’d like, then immediately contact registration@confuzzled.org.uk and we’ll update your registration details to match.

Still looking for a place to stay? ConFuzzled’s location near Birmingham airport and the NEC, means that there are plenty of hotels in the local area! Fire up Google, or your preferred hotel booking site, and have a search around!

TL;DR version: We’re out of rooms, but attending-only & day ticket registration ARE STILL OPEN until 4th May. There are plenty of hotels in the local area if you’d like to book a room yourself!

Sometimes we pay so much attention to our enemies, we forget to watch our friends as well. Spies never forget to watch their back and sometimes all it takes is a good bluff. Why not come along to our 4 table, 24 player Casino Royale Poker Tournament (No Limit Hold em'). This is sign up event, but spectators are always welcome in the Casino. Fursuits and Cosplay welcome.

We are looking for both players and Dealers -

This is a no stakes, no cash tournament but any donations to charity would be gratefully received. Further clarification can be obtained by contacting events@confuzzled.org.uk
