Partner with Anthrocon
We’re proud to work with a wide variety of institutions and businesses in and around Pittsburgh, and the furry fandom. If you have something that you think would benefit our community, we’d be happy to hear from your business or organization.
Partnership opportunities
Our convention covers a wide variety of activities over the course of four days, which potentially opens up opportunities to connect Anthrocon with partners that align with our community. Examples of partnerships that our attendees lean toward include:
- Food and Beverage Partnerships
- Sightseeing and Attraction Discounts
- Entertainment and Performance Discounts
- …and more!
How to apply as a partner
If you have a proposal that you think would benefit our community, we’d be happy to hear from you. Please note the following details before you apply.
- You must be the owner or an authorized business representative of the business or organization that is named in the application to apply as a partner. We will not accept applications made by unauthorized persons.
- Anthrocon will make an attempt to review partner applications in a timely fashion, but only those that Anthrocon identifies as a partner opportunity will be responded to via email.
- Hotel proposals: we are unable to consider hotel proposals that are not within the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Pittsburgh due to transportation challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of partnerships does Anthrocon usually consider?
We normally receive requests in the form of discounts for our attendees when visiting restaurants or establishments, show-your-badge programs that offer discounts or unique experiences, and appearances at our major spaces such as the Block Party (occurring on the Saturday of our convention weekend).
Can I submit an idea for a partnership proposal on behalf of someone?
Unless you are an authorized business representative of the business or organization in question, no. Alternatively, we would recommend you reach out to the business or organization and let them know about Anthrocon’s partnership form.
What kind of support does Anthrocon provide for accepted partnerships?
Although specific details would vary based on the nature of each partnership, Anthrocon has marketing and promotional capabilities that can be used if deemed appropriate. Other types of support, such as financial or logistical, would be arranged on a case-by-case basis.
I’m not located in Pittsburgh or within Allegheny County. Could I still be considered?
While we prefer partners that are local to the Pittsburgh area, we would still give fair consideration to any proposal that provides a clear and unique benefit to Anthrocon. There’s no harm in applying!
I have a question regarding partnerships, who can I contact?
You can reach out by email to [email protected] and our team will respond to you within a few business days.
