Convention Policy

What is considered convention space? Convention space is defined as all areas leased by the hotel for the convention. (Room/suites, event rooms, parking lots, etc.)
Nashum Fur Con reserves the right to collect information about our visitors’ email addresses and basic information to improve communication with our attendees. (More information in our Privacy FAQ)
Any attendee found to have false information, including payment information, will be removed from the convention, and the information will be handed over to Davidson County Metro Police for further action.
Any person who attempts to enter Nashum Fur Con without a badge can be banned from attending further conventions.
There is no sleeping in the convention or hotel space. It is against the fire code for Davidson County and the hotel.
Fursuiters and attendees must respect the hotel and convention policies regarding areas where suits are permitted and where they are not.
Con staff will request all fursuiters to take their heads off to verify IDs at REgistration and any 18+ ID checkpoints
Convention staff are attendees who have volunteered their time to make sure other attendees enjoy and have a great weekend. Most staff can be identified by a special badge or shirt worn during the weekend.

Con Floor Etiquette

No nudity on the convention floor. If it isn’t appropriate for children to see, then please do not do it in a public convention space. Remember, there will be minors present. We ask that everyone keep an eye out and, if they see something, please bring it to the staff's attention. It keeps us all safe, and we want everyone to go home.
During normal convention hours, all clothing must remain PG-13. That includes clothing, accessories, fetish gear, or items that restrict mobility. Collars are all right to wear, but we ask that no leashes be attached to the collar while on the hotel or convention floor. Undergarments will not be allowed to be worn in a way that allows people to see, and will be asked to change immediately. For after-dark, please see the After Dark page.
Clothing may not be over-revealing or over-sexualized during normal convention hours.
Except in certain areas, shirts, pants/shorts/skirts, etc, and shoes must always be worn if not wearing a fursuit. Exceptions are the pool area and private hotel rooms. In any public space, please be mindful of others.
Upper-body harnesses will be allowed on the convention floor, but cannot have any other gear attached.
Clothing that symbolizes hate groups, gangs, political hate, terrorist organizations, religious hate, animal hate, or is just deemed inappropriate will be asked to return to your room to change. We at Nashum Fur Con hold the right to have a convention space free of articles of hate or injustices.
Any props, toys, or accessories that have the potential to cause injury or damage to hotel property or attendees, or that pose a security risk, will not be permitted into the convention space.
Music not in panel rooms must be kept to a moderate level in open convention space and must not disrupt convention panels. If too loud, a staff member will ask the offender to reduce the music to a suitable level. If the person has been asked multiple times, then they will be asked to put away the music altogether.
Smoking is not allowed in the hotel or any convention space. If the hotel has designated smoking areas, please use those only.
Please do not disrupt panels or events. Be courteous to others and the convention staff who have worked hard to put the convention together for you to enjoy. If asked multiple times to behave, Nashum Fur Con has the right to revoke membership, and you will be asked to leave.
There will be no camping in the hotel's halls or lobby. If an attendee is found sleeping in public areas, they will be asked to return to their hotel or leave if they don’t have a room.
Please be mindful also of any physical contact with other attendees. Public forms of affection should be kept at an appropriate level of professionalism. If seeking physical attention, please ask for consent before touching the other person. Not everyone likes to be tackled or glomped out of nowhere. Respect yourself and other attendees’ personal space.

Service Animals and Pets

Service animals are welcome, and we ask that you do not interact with them unless specifically permitted by their handlers. If any harassment of a service animal or handler occurs, the person doing the harassing will be asked to leave, with their badge revoked and no refund.
Service animals must be leashed at all times in the convention space and on hotel property. If a service animal becomes a problem (barking, growling, roaming free away from the handler) to any attendee or other service animal, that service animal will be asked to be removed from the convention space for the duration of the convention. Nashum Fur Con follows the ADA guidelines for service animals, and we welcome anyone with a service animal.
The handlers are responsible for any accidents caused by their animal. We ask, please, when you let your animal do their business, pick up after them. This is a hotel, not your house.
No animal other than service animals is allowed on hotel property and at the convention.

Smoking / E-Cigarettes / Vape Products

Smoking is not permitted inside the hotel at any time, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, or any other electronic device. Any minor found in possession of these will have them confiscated, and guardians will be notified. Smoking is permitted outside in the hotel's designated smoking areas.
Please be mindful of nonsmokers and stand at least 50 feet from any entrance. We want attendees to be comfortable.

Room Parties

The general rule for room parties is to be respectful to your neighbors. Remember, you are not the only one in the hotel. If convention security has to settle down the room party more than once, the room party can be shut down. Remember, there are quiet times for hotel guests.
Any and all room parties that serve alcohol must, by law, check the ID of everyone entering the room. No one under 21 will be allowed in if alcohol is being served.
Convention staff members can check an attendee's ID at any time during a room party to ensure compliance.
Entrance into the room parties requires a convention badge. Since the room parties are at the convention hotel, all attendees must show a convention badge. No ghosting.
18-plus room parties must have an ID and badge checker at all times. If it is found out that a minor has entered, the room party will be shut down and swift punishment will be handed down to everyone involved. We take the safety of minors seriously, and we hope you do too.
Please keep the front of all badges free from any sticker collection. The convention staff uses badges to keep track of attendees.
Any and all room damage will be the responsibility of the person who made the reservation. Damages are not the responsibility of the convention.
Please clean up after yourselves. The hotel staff is not your maids, and we would like to come back for many years to come.
