๐ธ We love seeing your memories, photos and videos from the event (and so do other attendees) - tag #Anthrocon so everyone can find them!
If you haven't already done so, we'd love for you to fill out the Attendee Experience Survey that was sent out to all registered and paid attendees' emails! Check your spam or junk folder if you don't see it. The survey will close in two weeks on on August 1, 2026! ๐

โ ๏ธ Both elevators in the DLCC near the Main Ballroom are now out of commission. If you require elevator access to or out of the building, please use the East Lobby entrance on the street level, or walk to the skybridge on the 3rd floor where our team will escort you.
And just like that, another weekend of wonders and whimsy is over - let's give it one last big cheer! ๐
Join us for Closing Ceremonies as we send off another year, starting at 5 PM in the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom! #Anthrocon
๐ฅ๏ธ Livestream: https://t.co/Yswc0EgXFL
โน๏ธ we've also made the decision to close the DLCC outdoor terrace areas early to help facilitate our closing, happening later today. You can continue to hang out around indoor spaces, then after 6 PM we'll focus folks to the area in front of the Main Events ballroom and lockers!
๐ transportation services should be running normally in normal pickup locations, and will continue to until 1 AM tonight.
โ๏ธ due to the ongoing weather concerns, the rooftop has been closed early. We will provide any updates regarding any further area closures in the DLCC.
Enjoyed Floor Wars last night? A similar battle is about to throw down later tonight at 805 Liberty Ave, hosted by furry dancers and the local street dance scene. Con badge not required, but a $20 door entry! Come and support furry dance and street dance! ๐บ๐ฅ
Two important reminders!
๐ธ Our Charity Auction is at 12:30 PM today, and there's no better way to support our charity while scoring some unique items!
