Hi everyone. A polite reminder to please keep horseplay to a minimum in the Dealer's Den! Our dealers are small community artists and we don't want any of their stock inadvertently damaged. 💕

Food and drink in the exec lounge must be consumed inside the lounge only.

Thank you!

We are aware of a group of people harassing attendees between the Hilton and Resorts World. Anyone travelling between the Hilton and other parts of the NEC should try to do so with at least one other person. Please report any issues to conops or other convention staff.

So far we've raised £7,500 for those lovely fluffy wolves. Wolfs. Wolfves? Large doggies! Why not head to the Art Auction in the second stage at 8PM to get a lovely piece of art and raise money for a good cause! 🐺 💕

Can attendees with photosensitive epilepsy please avoid the Brightsmith bar. There is a fault in their lighting system causing the LED units to flash randomly which cannot currently be rectified. The Brightsmith staff apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Brightsmith is on last orders at midnight but our chill out spaces of Arbour2 and Millers are open until 2am with the Gild open 24 hours

Hi Hilton attendees! Polite request: when you're done with your breakfast could you and your friends please head out to the bar area to chat rather than staying in the restaurant? We have a lot of hungry furries to stuff. ♥ 🥚

Hilton residents: there is a cocktail jug drop-off point outside Breakfast, please return them as this is a universe where there are only a finite amount of jugs!

ANOMALY HUNTERS! Come to the second stage at 11AM to see which team won, and to see the NEXT PART of the video adventure!

Who is that shadowy figure?!

Unsold art pickup for the artshow is currently on now, until 1PM

Sold-Art pickup is at 4PM until 6PM today. If you won something in the auction please be sure to grab your loot!

Hey there little one! ConFuzzled likes to make sure the Smol ones are looked after.
But, if you've been changed and have padding to dispose of, it's still your responsibility to take that to the Yellow Bio-Bins we've arranged for you with the hotel.
(Please don't leave this in your hotel room. Housekeeping won't take these, and if they're left at the end of your stay you might be charged an extra fee!)

🐝 ❗ ❗ ❗

ArtShow Artist Payout is at 6PM until 7PM - make sure you come prepared with your bank details!

There is half an hour left to pick up art, and there is still art waiting for collection. If you have something outstanding please collect ASAP!

Lost something? Try Con-ops!

We try to make sure all lost property gets moved there, so please come collect!

Can attendees please avoid the NEC path from the Hilton if at all possible for the time being.

We have another reported incident of attendees being harassed. The police are involved and would like people to keep clear of the area.

Dear Attendee,

At this time we have been made aware of a security incident in the Resorts World area. For your own safety, we are asking the following:

+ Avoid travelling between the hotel and resorts world & NEC
+ Remove your convention badges and furry paraphernalia if you do use these pathways
+ We recommend not wearing your fursuit or other furry accessories in these areas (e.g. tail, wings etc).
+ If you must travel, we recommend doing so in a large group.

The police are aware, as are security at Resorts World and NEC, who are both increasing their patrols.

We appreciate that not being able to wear your furry items outside in these areas will likely mean you need somewhere to store them if going offsite. Please standby for further updates shortly with information on some arrangements we are making.

Stay safe, and please contact @cfzwelfare or 999 if you require urgent assistance.

Further to our previous announcement on the security incident in the Resorts World & NEC area.

As noted, we understand that asking people not to wear fursuits, furry accessories or other items might result in you requiring bag storage.

We have setup a temporary bag store at Con-Ops for large luggage (suitcases). You can store your bag, and our team will operate a bag check-in process.

At 3AM (Tuesday), Con-Ops will close. We recommend that any luggage you wish to store be deposited before this time.

For Tuesday Con-Ops will open at 9AM. They will close completely for an hour at Midday. When they return at 1PM, they will operate a bag collection only service until 8PM.

We are working on a process to help ensure that all attendees who are resident offsite (in other hotels such as Crowne Plaza, Moxy, Premier Inn etc) can get back to their hotels safely. As a minimum, we will be setting up signs in the Lobby for the various hotels - congregate by the sign of your hotel, and groups can then return back together.

Fursuit lounges will remain open slightly later today to allow fursuiters to change for those that need to store their suits at ConOps.

Usually the lounges close at 2:30 but we're keeping them open until 3:00, in line with the luggage announcement from earlier.

Please don't store your items in the main fursuit lounge as it won't open tomorrow; if you can't take them with you please take them to conops.

We've had a report that the individuals from earlier have been seen near the Hilton. Please use caution when travelling between the hotels and call the police should you feel at risk.

Hilton security and NEC security have both been informed and are on the way.

The exit to the NEC has been set to ‘night mode’. You can exit as normal but to enter you will need a Hilton room card. Please try not to let people tailgate you through the doors.
