It’s hard to miss the recent announcements made by the CDC and federal government recommending gatherings be restricted to 10 people or less and the recent restrictions being put in place by many states. After seeking guidance from medical professionals and out of an abundance of caution for the health, safety and wellbeing of our volunteers and attendees the Florida United Furry Fandom, Inc. Board of Directors has decided to cancel the Megaplex Annual Picnic 2020.
At this time there still remain NO plans to postpone or delay this year’s August convention. We are in high hopes that any future event restrictions will be lifted prior to the convention but will continue to monitor the quickly evolving COVID-19 situation. Our commitment to our attendees is unwavering and we will do our best to keep our attendees informed of any new developments affecting the convention.
While we are not able to have the picnic we ask our attendees, that are able to, to consider donating to our charity, The C.A.R.E. Foundation, at http://www.thecarefoundation.org/contribute/. We also wish to support our fellow conventions that have been affected very deeply by the COVID-19 situation. If you had planned to attend any of the conventions that have been forced to cancel or postpone, we would like to ask all those able to afford it to consider donating their registration at said events to their respective conventions. Furry Conventions often operate on very tight budgets and cannot weather this storm as well as much larger events. Your donation could be the money they need to be able to weather this storm.
We have had many reach out to us and we want everyone to be aware that we are taking the COVID-19 threat seriously. A lot can change in the next 5 months but at this time we are not yet planning to cancel or delay the con. In the meantime, we are working on policies, procedures, and guidance to help reduce the risk to our attendees and volunteers. The Board of Directors will be meeting in the next couple weeks and will review the latest information and guidance on COVID-19. Updates will be found on the COVID-19 page of our website and on our social media.

This year we received a record number of surveys and though it took us a while we got through them. We’re overjoyed with how positive the vast majority of them were but that doesn’t mean we don’t have areas that could use some improvements. We saw a few trends emerge as we reviewed them that has helped us focus on some of the areas that would benefit the most from a little TLC. Click "Read More" for more details
I was honored to be asked back in 2015 to become the Megaplex Chairman and after 4 amazing years I am shocked at how far it’s come in such a short time. With this year’s Megaplex having surpassed 3600 attendees and raising an astounding $40,000 for C.A.R.E. I couldn’t be prouder of what our convention leadership, staff and volunteers have been able to provide Central Florida Yet, it’s not just those that work the convention that have made it what it is as we provide a place for the fun to happen - the attendees are integral and some of the most amazing and caring people I've met.
With this year’s con behind us I would like to announce that one of my fellow Board Members will be taking over the reigns as Megaplex Chairman while I take a lesser role to give me time to provide better focus on my personal life. I will still remain a board member and Vice President of Florida United Furry Fandom Inc., Megaplex’s parent company.
So, with that said, I would like to welcome Scooby as the 2020 Megaplex Chairman. His dedication to the convention and its attendees over the past few years has been exemplary and I am sure that with his leadership Megaplex will continue to get even better as we continue to provide our attendees with the best experience we can.
Sincerely,
Hino
2019 Megaplex Chairman
