Capital Fur Con DOES NOT provide the following items:

• Laptops, Tablets, or Computers of Any Kind
• Internet Access
• Pens, Markers, Pencils or Sharpeners, Paper, etc.

Capital Fur Con DOES provides the following items based on room assignment:

• HDMI Connection for projectors (If you require a special adaptor you will need to bring your own).
• Projectors, Microphones, Speakers, and Basic Sound Equipment (Not all rooms are outfitted with equipment).

• Meet and Greets are stand-up events for members of our community with common interests to interact and form new connections and friendships. They are intended to be a chat and mingle affair, and not an informational panel or performance.
• Due to the number of Meet and Greet requests we receive and the size and popularity of some, Meet and Greets are subject to additional restrictions.
• Meet and Greet events are placed in rooms and spaces that stand the best chance of fitting the likely attendance. Meet and Greet spaces typically do not contain projectors, microphones, or other equipment. If you wish to host a presentation that requires a projector, microphones, or other such equipment (as available), then that event would need to be submitted as a Panel, and not as a Meet and Greet.

In submitting my panel request for Capital Fur Con 2026, I accept and acknowledge the following:

1. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.
2. Equipment requests are not guaranteed.
3. Decisions regarding acceptance or denial of panel requests are made by the Events team. Decisions are final.
4. If multiple submissions are received for the same event we will do our best to put you in touch with each other so you can work together if you so desire - if you can't work together we will work from there.
5. You will abide by the convention standards of conduct
6. You will adhere to all convention policies regarding public health.
7. An event may not pass out any food or drink, store bought or homemade. This includes but is not limited to coffee, tea, soda, chips, pretzels, candy, etc.
8. Panelists may not alter a room's fundamental layout. If a room is set up as a classroom the tables must stay put; If it is set up as a lecture hall you may not move the chairs into a circle, etc. (Seating may be moved for accessibility or accommodation of additional panelists, but it must be returned to position at the end of your panel).
9. Please keep in mind that you cannot charge your panel attendees money. If you are providing services in your panel that require payment, work with our Events Team to see if it is appropriate.
10. Panels may not exceed the legal capacity of the room. Panel lines obstructing safe passage may be cut off at a certain length.

If you've got an interesting topic or talent you'd love to share with our community, we'd love to hear from you! For any questions or suggestions, reach out to the panel director at hollysnep@capitalfurcon.org.
