After three long years, the buzz of excitement in the air is palpable! With only three weeks left until we descend upon the Steel City, make sure you know everything that’s happening and are fully prepared for the big return.

COVID Policy & Before You Arrive

Our COVID Policy is now finalized and will not be revised any further. In order to attend, you must bring documentation proving your vaccine and/or test status and wear a medical mask while in convention space. Review our full COVID policy
COVID travel requirements are still applicable depending on how you’re travelling to Anthrocon and/or into the United States. We highly recommend making arrangements now so minimize any chance of issues while you’re travelling. Please refer to your government’s travel resources, as well as the CDC travel website.
We’ve provided some additional tips and reminders on our Travel page, which could come in handy when you make your way.
