Given the health situation in France and the poor forecasts, we decided to postpone the FBL 9 to a later date in 2021. More info (and the French version) by following this link to our official website: https://fblacklight.org/FBL9/en/fbl2020-important-informations

We are sad to announce that NordicFuzzCon will not take place as hoped and planned in February 2021.
The world is still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Outbreaks are still happening and countries may close their borders at short notice, or issue sudden changes to their requirements for public gatherings. It is still uncertain when the world will return to something akin to ‘normalcy’. This unpredictability makes it too difficult and too risky to proceed with our convention as we had planned, both for our STEW and for would-be attendees.
We will be considering various options on how to proceed for 2021. This includes hosting the convention later in the year, having a replacement event (e.g. an online convention), or postponing until 2022. If the convention is postponed, the theme for 2021 will carry over to the next year. The world is too unpredictable for us to be able to make any promises or to give any dates at this time.
Any news that we can share regarding NordicFuzzCon taking place in 2021, we will share through our usual channels (Twitter, Telegram, etc.). You can find them all listed here: https://social.nordicfuzzcon.org
We thank you all for your patience, and wish you the best in these trying times.

FSW 2021 is canceled.
The current state of Covid in the US is severe, and it’s very likely it will get worse over the new school year and flu season. We’re heartbroken to do this on what would be our 15th year. We love being able to provide and share this experience with you, and will miss seeing all of you. Rest assured we have every intention of returning in 2022, and hope to see you there.

We know that we’re getting to that time of year where many of you will be anxiously awaiting the opening of registration. Indeed, we would normally be at least getting toward the stage of sharing some details, including pricing, opening dates and more.
However, with the Coronavirus pandemic still actively impacting our lives, we have to take some carefully balanced decisions to protect the convention, the business arrangements that underpin it, and of course you, our attendees.
To that end we have taken the decision to delay the opening of registration until January 2021. No specific date has been selected for opening at this time.
We also have to take into account that the current legal prohibition on events like ours are still in place. We are proceeding on the assumption that this will be lifted between now and the end of May. However that assumption alone would not make it right to open registration just yet. We would also need a much clearer picture of how and when these legal changes would happen. Quite frankly - we are not expecting that to come into focus before the end of the year.
We know that for many of you, the uncertainty around the opening of registration can cause difficulties, for example in the arrangement of time off work, and the booking of travel plans. However, we hope you’ll understand that we have not taken this decision lightly.
These decisions are not just about reducing the risk of another wave of refunds should the absolute worst happen. We also have to manage our business relationships, including with suppliers, our venue, and other service providers we rely on to make the convention happen.
We should stress that -at this time- we are still planning to proceed with ConFuzzled 2021. They say ‘hope for the best, and plan for the worst’. At ConFuzzled, we want to offer you more than hope: we want to offer reassurance, that we are still focussed on making the convention happen next year. We have to be realistic however, and stay mindful that we’re not out of the woods yet.
In the end, there are still too many unknowns at the current time for us to realistically open registration, so we’re going to stay on hold for now, and we’ll try to keep you updated with any further developments.
We thank you for your patience, and we promise to let you know if there is anything new to share.

ConFuzzled 2021 Announcement:
As all of you will be aware, we are living through one of the most unprecedented events in a generation. With Lockdowns of varying sorts soon to reach their 1st anniversary none of us can escape the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. These restrictions in place in the UK and many of the nations of the world are difficult, but necessary, to ensure everyone's wellbeing. We have seen to our own detriment what happens when these restrictions are lifted too early or not respected.
Last year, for the first time ever, we had to take the decision to cancel ConFuzzled. We felt then it was the right thing to do, and very sadly our decision has been proved right.
Although there is light at the end of the tunnel with regards to the vaccination programme, the situation today remains the same. Whilst these vaccination rollouts offer us hope, it will take time before the full positive impact will be felt. We believe it would not be safe to run a physical convention within the UK at this time and that it will remain unsafe to do so by May this year.
It is therefore with a heavy heart we must inform you that we have taken the very sad, but we believe correct decision, to cancel the physical convention of ConFuzzled 2021.
The next ConFuzzled in person will be in May 2022.
We understand that this will be, for many, upsetting if not unexpected news. However the health and safety of our attendees, our team, and the venue teams, is our top priority. This decision, whilst difficult, is the responsible one to take.
What happens next?
As we have not yet opened registration for 2021, we can immediately move to setting up a virtual ConFuzzled 2021 experience for our attendees during the May bank holiday. More details of this will emerge over the coming weeks, but we hope you will be able to join us in spirit, even if not in person.
Can you postpone the event to later in the year?
Regrettably, whilst we know many of you would like this to be an option, we feel it is in the best interest of the attendees and the team to plan ahead for 2022. We are unsure at this time if the situation will improve sufficiently this year in order to put on a physical convention at any point and we wish to provide clarity to our attendees and minimise the potential worry of “is there a convention or isn't there?”
Whilst this year has been an incredibly difficult journey and we have faced uncertainty in these trying times, we can now confidently plan ahead, and move forward towards the future. It is our fierce determination to bring the convention back, bigger and better than ever, in 2022!
I have more questions, who can I talk to?
We understand that you may have many questions that have not been answered right now.
Our team is fully voluntary and like yourselves, they have had their daily routines and jobs thrown into chaos by the lockdown. Having the event cancelled like this is not something we ever thought we would have to do once, let alone twice.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our fantastic communications team who will endeavour to answer (we can be contacted via twitter, or by emailing communications@confuzzled.org.uk)
In closing, we want to express as always our love and appreciation to you all for your support of ConFuzzled and the team. We all find ourselves in these unique circumstances together, however we will weather this storm as a community. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all good health and safety.
Kind Regards,
Crimson, Fioxy, Russet

> We at Eurofurence know things are difficult for everyone now and have our attendees at the heart of everything we do. Your safety is our first priority and currently with the pandemic ongoing we feel we cannot reasonably run a physical event this year.
What does this mean? We will be delaying EF26 until 2022 (exact dates will be announced later). So this means you have extra time to work on those costumes, polish up the dance moves and we look forward to welcoming you in a safe setting.

We had high hopes but at this point, it looks like that we will not be able to safely hold the convention. As such we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that the convention will be canceled this year.
For those of you who have deferred memberships or dealerships from 2020, those deferrals will carry over to 2022, as will hotel rooms won at the charity auction. Emails with the coupon codes for Anthrocon 2022 will be sent out at a later date.
Those who were purchasing memberships for this year need not do anything. Those memberships will be canceled and since no payments were processed so there are no refunds that need to be issued.
We are planning a virtual convention for this year. Information regarding the virtual convention will follow shortly.
Plans are proceeding for the in-person convention for 2022 which will take place June 30th - July 3rd. We plan to carry over the theme once again (Aesop's Fables).
We are looking forward to Anthrocon's return in 2022 and are excitedly anticipating seeing everyone in person and making the return of Anthrocon 2022 the best Anthrocon ever.
