Megaplex is an annual furry convention held in Orlando, Florida. It is currently held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando Hotel. [1]

The convention is administered by Florida United Furry Fandom, Inc., a non-profit organization operating out of the State of Florida dedicated to the furry community and strives to further the education about anthropomorphism, anthropomorphic arts, and other topics as they pertain to the furry fandom.

History

[edit]

For the first two years of its existence, the convention was known as Pawpet Megaplex until the name was shortened. [2]

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the convention was only held as an online event in 2020. [3]

Since 2023, the convention is held as an adult event and all attendees are required to be at least 18 years of age at the time of badge pickup at the event. [4]
