Earlier today, furry founding father Mark Merlino passed away. Mark's contributions shaped the modern furry fandom as we know it. He will be missed and our thoughts are with his friends and family.
We are proud to announce our first amazing guest! Fox is a CG artist working at Blizzard Cinematics and previously at Walt Disney Animation Studios where he worked on titles such as Big Hero 6, Moana, and Zootopia and much more!

I'm sure the rumor mill has reached you
already. I'm asking you to reserve your opinions until we can collect
ourselves and make a statement. Corgi Events has had a restructuring. There have been some misunderstandings and
hurt feelings. give us time to get a real statement out.

Unfortunately, the Easter Bunny couldn’t be our Guest of Honor. Something about this being their busiest time of year? Anyway, instead, they sent one of of their assistants to hide some colorful eggs around the con spaces for all of you to find. Keep an eye out!
GSFC would like to announce a policy update for our Dealers & Artists:
Going forward, the sale of AI generated art, art with AI generated elements, or merchandise produced from AI generated art is prohibited in the Dealer's Den, Artist Alley, & Art Show of AEIOU's conventions.
