Scotiacon - Twitch
Welcome to Scotiacon, Scotland’s first (and currently only!) furry convention. Our first event was in 2011 and we’ve worked hard to make our event bigger and better every year, bringing together furries from all around the globe to celebrate our community…
Reminder: No ID, No Con
Hi all! Please remember you must show valid, in-date ID at onsite registration to attend our convention. It must be government issued or bear the holographic PASS logo and show your legal name, date of birth, and photograph. You will not be allowed to attend without this - don't forget!
Examples of typically acceptable ID include passport, driving license, or a PASS card. If you still need to secure an ID, there are express services offered by the Post Office for a fee that may be able to help; see their website here for details: https://www.postoffice.co.uk/identity/pass-card
We are legally obliged to ensure that everyone attending our convention is who they say they are and are 18 years old or over. This is to safeguard attendees, which is always our priority, and for insurance purposes. Please help us and avoid disappointment by remembering your ID!

Happy Burns Night!
Scotiacon wishes a very happy Burns Night to all! As the renowned poet once wrote;
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace
As lang's my arm.

Important Things To Remember!!
It's almost time! Before we move into convention mode, here are some important things to remember. Please read these carefully!
Where To Find Updates
All announcements during the convention will come primarily from our Telegram channel right here! Make sure you check in often for all the latest updates, schedule changes, helpful messages, and anything else we think you should know!
Fursuiting Times
The hotel has asked us not to allow fursuiting in the restaurant, bar, and lobby areas prior to 2pm on Friday and not at all today or Thursday! However, those wishing to fursuit may exit the lifts on the Mezzanine and proceed immediately into the function space at the end of that level
Registration: Remember Your ID!!
You must bring valid ID to pick up your conbadge and pack. This must be valid, in date, show your photograph, your legal name, your date of birth, and match the data you used when registering. It must be government issued or bear to PASS holographic logo. Remember; No ID, No Con!
Registration: No eTicket / QR Code This Year
In some previous years, we've sent out eTickets or QR codes that you needed to bring with you to registration. We've opted to drop this requirement for 2024 to make the experience easier for attendees, so you will not receive any ticket or code to print and bring with you.
Attendees Only On Site
As per last year, for your safety only registered attendees will be allowed into the hotel and event space; there is no general entry to the bar or rooms. We will be badge checking at the entry to the hotel and no tickets are available for purchase on site.
Please Don't Sticker The Hotel and Surrounding Area
We know you love stickers but please don't put them around the hotel or surrounding area. This can harm our relationship with the hotel and we'd like to stay here! Instead, bring them to the Dealers Den on Monday and use them in our Sticker Swap! We have banners for you to cover!
And With All That Said, See You Soon!!!
Finally, we're looking forward to seeing you all in Glasgow very, very soon! Some early birds (and other species) are already here, but for those of you travelling over the coming days, we wish you a pleasant journey, be safe, and don't get eaten by a velociraptor on the way.

But soon, you'll be HERE. And we can't wait to see you.
Travel safe, take care, and don't get stomped on by a stegosaurus.
