Making the Dead Dogs Dance: Proposals for Furry End-of Life Processes
Our fandom's getting older, and so are we. In the last few years, several of furry's progenitor artists have died of old age, and just as many have left us unexpectedly. Additionally, furries encounter a unique set of challenges related to end of life planning. What's gonna happen to my fursuit? Should my Telegram friends come to my funeral? Patrick Totally will be drawing on research, interviews, and personal experience to lead a discussion on the taboo subject of furry death practices. This talk will include both practical advice, such as tips on writing a will, and speculative passages, such as proposals for furry burial rites. Cumulatively, this talk aims to destigmatize an aspect of our community that each of us will engage with one way or another. This talk will feature non-graphic discussions of real people who've died. If you do not want to hear about this, this panel is not for you.

Con History: From Costume Masquerade to Fursuit Parade
85 years ago at Chicon, the 2nd Worldcon in 1940, costume maker Morojo opened up her hotel room, 689 in the Hotel Chicagoan, as a changing room for the first Costume Masquerade. Morojo’s room would be considered the first Con Suite and Cosplay Lounge. 50 years later these elements would evolve into the Headless Lounge and Fursuit Parade at the first furry cons. Join us for a 85 year long journey from the first fan conventions to the modern cons to today, and show how we are all part of one larger fandom family, looking at the history of convention costuming, cosplay, and of course the history of fursuits and fursuiting.

Please note I am no expert on employment law, discrimination law, nor can I be held responsible for any consequences for following advice given here. I am here to share some insight as someone with relevant experience most job applicants don't have. Be careful with what you share with employers at any stage of the hiring process.
