Your Imagined Furry Fantasy (18+ ONLY)
This light-hearted RPG-esque system designed by SteelTheWarrior was borne of frisky fantasy, silly stories of over-the-top shenanigans and inspired by popular flash games like Corruption of Champions, Trials in Tainted Space and Flexible Survival! Gameplay gives players a different perspective on the psychology behind modern-day sexuality and taboo as they adventure in a world where just about everything is over-sexualized (including combat!) to offer silly-fun and sex-positive escapades!

18+ ONLY. ID REQUIRED TO ATTEND.

Ever have a moment in your life that you wanted to capture but can’t find the words? Ever have an idea or process in your creativity that you wished to share? NonFiction writing is an essential, if hidden, aspect of fostering community. Whether it is a news story viewed years later in nostalgia, or a process that can help people ways in which they can improve, the written word is a condensed artform that allows for the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next. In this panel we will discuss techniques on putting the thoughts to paper through technical and narrative styles.

Transformation, IRL?!? Time for Science!
Many of us - including your presenters Lathreas and Zennith - want to actually be our fursonas some day. For some, it would just be awesome, and for others, it would be profoundly liberating and affirming. At the Freedom of Form Foundation, we’re working on making it possible within our lifetimes. “Okay, cool, but how? Can you really do that?” We’re glad you asked! We’ll start by introducing you to some important concepts about how cells self-organize and make decisions. We’ll then compare and contrast some natural systems with the sorts of engineering you would need to transform an adult. And that brings us to the most exciting part - our game plan on making transformations possible in our lifetimes, and our progress bootstrapping some of the most crucial research projects so far. We want to see audience participation, and we’ll leave a lot of time for questions!

How to Groove, Funk, and Flow - Charity Dance Panel with RozBot
How to Groove, Funk, and Flow - This dance class teaches students how to sync up their feet with their core movement. The idea of the “jack” (the universal oscillation) will be taught along with ways to build a foundation for dance.

Chicago built and based, Rozbot has performed and taught professionally for 12 years now. While some dancers prefer to keep their dance a mystery, they prefer to dissect and share their fundamental breakdowns of movements and illusions; sharing their boogie all over the United States and internationally.

To sign up for the charity dance workshop, stop by the Charity and make a minimum donation of $10, and ask to sign up. You will be provided with a ticket that will allow you into the class. There will be limited availability, so don't delay!

Sign-ups may be available at the door, but this won't be on dancer time! Make sure to show up on-time!

Turning your fursona into a comic book hero! 18+ ONLY
IDs Required. This is an 18+ Only event
When Joe Strike created his fursona (and fursuit) “Komos” – a suave yet sinister anthropomorphic, shape-shifting Komodo dragon with powerful hypnotic abilities, he never thought his creation would wind up co-starring in a comic book with “Goldie,” a super-powered, golden Celtic sex goddess!

Yet that’s exactly what happened when Oliver Coombes aka “Desiring Change,” Goldie’s Britfur creator suggested he and Joe collaborate on a comic book charting their creations’ adventures battling “Mr. Kulkin,” a shadowy and power-hungry corporate titan.

Joe and Oliver recount their challenges turning their ideas into a focused comic book story, commissioning artists to turn their script into comic book pages, finding – and paying for – a printer to turn those pages into an actual comic book – and then doing it all over again for a second issue!

"Coming out as Kinky - what to know about yourself and others, when coming to accept and embrace your erotic desires" with Dr. Anna from TASHRA (18+ ONLY)
Whether you just learned about kink on or have had lifelong fantasies, many people have questions like, “Why am kinky?” or “Why am I turned on by things that seem so taboo?” or “Why do I fantasize about being in control or giving up control?” For some people, these are questions of curiosity and exploration. For others, these questions hold deep shame, confusion, or emotional distress that can interfere with full expression of their erotic, sexual and expressive selves. The pull to find answers and healing is powerful, especially when these desires and fantasies are not understood, or pathologized, especially when people reach out for help from therapists. This workshop will explore the ways, within or outside-of-therapy, that kink-involved people kink can build greater self-acceptance, comfort in erotic negotiation and communication, and growth in self-empowerment and boundary settings; especially when kink-have existing mental health concerns, trauma histories and stigma-related internalized feelings. You’ll come away with a better understanding of your turn-ons, your emotional and physical responses, and how you and others find satisfaction and pleasure in intense sensation and the taboo.

Your Imagined Furry Fantasy (18+ ONLY)
This light-hearted RPG-esque system designed by SteelTheWarrior was borne of frisky fantasy, silly stories of over-the-top shenanigans and inspired by popular flash games like Corruption of Champions, Trials in Tainted Space and Flexible Survival! Gameplay gives players a different perspective on the psychology behind modern-day sexuality and taboo as they adventure in a world where just about everything is over-sexualized (including combat!) to offer silly-fun and sex-positive escapades!

18+ ONLY. ID REQUIRED TO ATTEND.

What next, "Furry Universe"? Writing the Furry Nation sequel Furry Planet
2017 saw the publication of Joe Strike’s Furry Nation – not just the first look at furry fandom’s birth and history, and the people who made it happen, but the first history from a mainstream publisher with mainstream distribution.

Now Joe is hoping to repeat that success with Furry Planet, due out in February from Apollo Publishers. In addition to new looks at key players and contributors to Furry, Furry Planet will examine mainstream anthropomorphism: the painters, authors and entertainers whose works feature anthropomorphic characters, and in particular, the many “performance artists” who “become” animals by creating and wearing their own fursuits and performing for avant-garde audiences.

Joe will show examples of these creators’ works and explain why it was important for him to reach a non-furry audience via mainstream publishers to counteract the myths and misconceptions many still hold about the furry community.
